Hany Soh on Good Samaritan Food Donation Bill
The Good Samaritan Food Donation Bill is the culmination of the close collaborations and consultations with various stakeholders for an important social cause, said MP Hany Soh. Speaking in Parliament on Wednesday (Aug 7), she said the passage of the Bill is a milestone but “not the end of our journey”. She stressed the need to continue to engage with the relevant stakeholders and community, saying there will always be room for further improvements. Ms Soh pointed out that a key concern of current and prospective food donors is liability, both civil and criminal. There are many donors and potential donors who would like to contribute but are understandably concerned about incurring liability despite taking every precaution and doing their utmost best, she added. She hopes the Singapore Food Agency will continue to guide them in this important mission, such as coming up with clear and specific food safety standards and best practices.
