Murali Pillai on Prisons (Amendment) Bill
Allow talented ex-offenders to perform at the National Day Parade. This will be the nation's signal that the community will do what it takes to support them in their rehabilitation and reintegration journey. MP Murali Pillai made this call in Parliament on Tuesday (Jan 11), stressing that prison is not mere punishment for wrongdoing. He said it is also the first step towards the acquisition of skills and knowledge. He lauded the Employment Preparation Scheme as part of a suite of levers to ensure that inmates stay the course and pick up skills to get good jobs. He asked how this scheme will be harmonised with other schemes for inmates.
