Committee of Supply 2022 debate, Day 6: Louis Ng on supporting single unwed parents

02:43 Min

Single unwed parents are valued citizens and are "no less a mother or father" just because the children are born outside of marriage. Why deny them the cash component of the Baby Bonus? MP Louis Ng renewed his call in Parliament on Wednesday (Mar 9) to remove the stigma against single unwed parents. He said the cash is "not a luxury" but a "lifeline" in the face of higher living costs. He also urged the Government to start a pilot programme to provide low-cost ad-hoc nanny services to help ease their caregiving burden.
