Committee of Supply 2026 debate, Day 6: Sylvia Lim on adoption of children
Adoptions should be encouraged, not just for the act of love that it embodies, but also to mitigate Singapore’s dismal total fertility rate, said MP Sylvia Lim. Speaking in parliament on Thursday (Mar 5), she raised concerns of reports of investigations by Indonesia into an alleged baby trafficking ring supplying babies to Singapore for adoption. She wanted to know how effective Singapore's safeguards are in adoption support.
