MSF Expands Senior Home Care Services for Families with Frail Seniors and Persons with Disability

​While most Singaporeans enjoy more opportunities to build better lives for themselves and their families, many feel more anxieties and uncertainties about the future. To address their worries and give all Singaporeans greater peace of mind, the government will strengthen our social safety nets. Our philosophy is upstream prevention, providing more for those with less and sharing the risks of life’s uncertainties so that no one has to deal with his problems alone. Underlying this is the spirit of a caring society, where we care for one another and share the fruits of progress with all. 

​Minister for Social and Family Development, Mr Chan Chun Sing, will be attending the 8th ASEAN Ministerial Meeting for Social Welfare and Development (AMMSWD) on 6 September 2013 in Siem Reap, Cambodia. 

​The Ministry of Social and Family Development (MSF) and the Agency for Integrated Care (AIC) have jointly initiated a new service called the Caring Assistance from Neighbours (CAN) programme.

Speech by Acting Minister Chan Chun Sing

The LPA is an important legal instrument with wide implications. It allows the applicant (‘donor’) to appoint another person(s) (‘donee’) to make decisions on his behalf should he lose mental capacity. For this reason, there are safeguards in place to protect the interest of applicants.
