Committee of Supply 2024 debate, Day 2: Patrick Tay on rehabilitating ex-offenders
Punitive measures alone cannot break the cycle of crime and punishment; Singapore must invest in programmes to help ex-offenders reintegrate into society, giving them the support they need to secure jobs, homes and a sense of dignity, said MP Patrick Tay. In Parliament on Thursday (Feb 29), he asked for an update on what has been done and how much progress has been made, and whether laws such as the Registration of Criminals Act can be reviewed.
