10:26 Min

Caregiving is physically and mentally draining so it is important to enhance respite care, said MP Tin Pei Ling in Parliament on Tuesday (Apr 5). She called on the Government to increase institutional capacity for respite care and allow more flexible financing options including greater use of extended family members’ MediSave. Ms Tin also spoke on the need to deter and punish abuses against women in the workplace to ensure that they are not disadvantaged in recruitment and promotion, and the importance of protecting girls from violent or sexual misdemeanours at home.
