Committee of Supply 2026 debate, Day 2: Gabriel Lam on rehabilitating and reintegrating ex-offenders
Employment remains one of the strongest protective factors against re-offending, but beyond job placement, what matters is job retention and progression. It is not simply giving someone a job, but giving them a future, said MP Gabriel Lam in parliament on Friday (Feb 27). Reintegration also depends heavily on families, he said. He noted that as Yellow Ribbon Singapore turns 50, the milestone offers not only an opportunity to celebrate, but also to consolidate and refine its strategy for the next decade.
