Yip Hon Weng on National Council of Social Service (Amendment) Bill
The National Council of Social Service (NCSS) will get more authority, responsibility and influence over how Singapore’s social service ecosystem evolves with the proposed amendments, said MP Yip Hon Weng. That matters because residents do not experience systems in theory; they experience them in moments of need, he added. Speaking in parliament on Tuesday (Jan 13), he said if NCSS is shaped into a body that welcomes frank voices, values ground insights, supports escalation and learns from failure, the bill will do more than restructure a council. It will strengthen the safety net for every child, senior, caregiver and vulnerable person in Singapore, he added.
