Melvin Yong on National Council of Social Service (Amendment) Bill
In reconstituting the National Council of Social Service, how many current members will be impacted by the move to narrow membership criteria? By making the council size flexible, could the setting of a higher limit lead to bloat and conversely, might the lower limit affect functional performance? Will new statutory appeal provisions go beyond membership decisions to areas such as award and revocation of funds? How will the role of the Community Chest, as the main fundraising and engagement arm of the social service sector, evolve? These questions were raised by MP Melvin Yong in parliament on Tuesday (Jan 13).
