500k will be spent by NTUC to aid companies to give \"more family-friendly workplace environment by offering other forms of support, such as Family Care Leave (FCL) for family members who are dependents, or Family Support Schemes (FSS) such as childcare or elderly care subsidies, or the provision of breastfeeding spaces.\"



Good news for mummies!

I saw this article and video getting circulated around. I am so outraged!

Nobody bothers to give up a seat to this obviously pregnant lady.

what can the govt do? at most agree that SAHMs are a bunch of mummies who are willing to sacrifice their careers to look after the children full time.

Perhaps should ask What \"will\" the govt do?
They can do a lot but will they do it?

Considering that Mr Patrick Tay has already made an official speech on it, I am sure that plans will go into action for full support of SAHMs.

I do hope that incentives can be given or are already in the planning for us SAHMs.

I am now a SAHM as I'm on maternity. It's heartening to hear that Mr Patrick Tay from NTUC pushing the agenda for us stay-at-home Mums!


Mr Patrick Tay is in full support of us! What are your thoughts?

\"Sir, one often forgotten and forsaken group of our community are thestay-at-home mums (SAHMs). As of 2013, there are 312,000 females not working due to childcare, care-giving and home tending. There is still a lack of societal and governmental cognizance of the critical role SAHMsplay in our society supporting the basic family unit and sometimes even the extended family. They should not be seen as unproductive or contributing less to society!\"
