Forward Singapore (Care Pillar): Empowering vulnerable families and individuals to secure a better future

13 June 2023

Minister for Social and Family Development, Mr Masagos Zulkifli, smiling with participants

Building partnerships to uplift lower-income families

As a society, we must recognise their efforts and work with them towards their goals. Together, we can help families secure employment, and better employment that not only provides for their daily needs but facilitates savings. We can support families in owning their own homes. We can help their children reap the benefits of education and achieve their fullest potential in life.

Upholding the agency and dignity of those in-need

We all know the feeling of achieving something by our own efforts... Therefore, as a society, we must enable families, and do so in a manner that respects their personal agency. We must reinforce personal effort even as we work as a society to better support families.
