Masagos Zulkifli on National Council of Social Service (Amendment) Bill
As Singapore faces growing and increasingly complex social needs, it is moving to build a stronger and more future-ready social service sector. This includes ensuring that the National Council of Social Service (NCSS) is in the best position to do its work effectively. In parliament on Tuesday (Jan 13), Social and Family Development Minister Masagos Zulkifli outlined proposed changes to better reflect NCSS’ role as a sector developer to strengthen social service delivery, build capabilities and develop the overall ecosystem. The council will get broader representation and its size will be kept flexible, with a longer term. A streamlined sector membership framework will be introduced. The National Council of Social Service Act, largely unchanged since 1992, will also be aligned with those of other statutory boards.
