The government is not ideologically opposed to any proposals to improve social safety, said Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong on Wednesday (2 September).

But the impact of any ideas have to be carefully assessed so that new problems are not created in the process, he said in Parliament.

“Make the best use of our resources to meet the needs of different groups in our society, in a targeted manner. Because if we help everyone equally, then we are not giving more help to those who need it most,” he said. “This is a structural solution that helps older workers get their careers back on track. The best unemployment insurance is in fact the assurance of another job,” he added.
