The Government wants to do everything it can to ensure that Singapore is a society "made for families", said Prime Minister Lawrence Wong.

"For all the young parents out there, please have the assurance that we are here with you to support you," he said on March 16 during a visit to Sengkang - his first since taking over the country's top job.

After being sworn in in May 2024, the Prime Minister has embarked on a series of visits to different constituencies across the island, to meet as many Singaporeans as he can.

He was joined by advisers to the Sengkang GRC grassroots organisations - Dr Lam Pin Min, Associate Professor Elmie Nekmat and Ms Theodora Lai - at a community event in Anchorvale targeted at young families.

PM Wong pointed to the support measures for parents with young children announced as part of Budget 2025.

"We know that cost pressures are a concern. That's why we have given out more CDC vouchers. And even for the SG60 package, we have provided some vouchers for every adult Singaporean to help," he said in a short speech at the community plaza in Anchorvale Village shopping centre.
