Committee of Supply 2025 debate, Day 5: Wan Rizal on mid-career training allowance
Extending the SkillsFuture Mid-Career Training Allowance to part-time programmes is a welcome move, said MP Wan Rizal in parliament on Thursday (Mar 6). He asked how programmes are selected, what support will be offered if the 24-month lifetime cap is used up, whether there are extra pathways or funding options for workers in industries undergoing transformation, and what more the government will do to encourage lifelong learning among low-income and vulnerable workers.
