Mohd Fahmi Aliman on Maintenance of Parents (Amendment) Bill
The Maintenance of Parents Act is a legislative pillar reflecting the core values of Singapore society. It aims to ensure that elderly parents receive the necessary support from their children to meet their basic needs and maintain a reasonable standard of living. MP Mohd Fahmi Aliman said this in Parliament on Tuesday (Jul 4). However, he pointed to the importance of taking preventive measures by investing in early intervention programmes, financial literacy initiatives and comprehensive social support networks. These will help alleviate the risk of destitution by empowering families to overcome potential challenges before they reach a critical point.
