"Government can help couples be 'baby ready': Josephine Teo
SINGAPORE: There are practical ways for the Government to help young couples be "baby ready" – including helping them get their flats sooner, said Minister for Manpower and Second Minister for Home Affairs Josephine Teo on Saturday (Nov 3).
Newly-weds Vernon Tey, 39 and Cadence Koh, 27 told Channel NewsAsia they are encouraged by such initiatives to support young couples in becoming parents.
“We are actually planning to have a baby in one to two years' time. We look around, we know there are some initiatives like Baby Bonus, childcare subsidies, and extended maternity leave," said Mr Tey."
Good to learn that the government is still trying hard to get Sgp people to marry n start a 3-kid family as soon as possible.
Obviously the natural desire of the newly wed couple must be the most important factor while other help to assure the parents that their kids' reasonable basic universal needs will b taken care of or optimise give it added strength!
Will the people respond to these initiatives? Hopefully so!!
Let's wait for the good news! In 2019??
