Today is #InternationalWomensDay. We all play a part in building Singapore, but women have a vital role: they are often the primary caregivers, prioritising their families over their careers or personal aspirations.

The #SGBicentennial CPF top-up that was announced during the Budget debate will help many homemakers who could not build up their retirement funds. This top-up of up to $1,000 will benefit 300,000 Singaporeans aged 50 to 64 (60% of whom are women!), who have less than $60,000 of retirement savings in their CPF accounts.

MOM also recently announced measures to support women in the workplace. For example, we increased the budget for the Work Life grant from $30 million to $100 million, to support companies offering flexible working arrangements for their employees.

The adage is true: Behind every successful nation, is its women. :) Once again, a happy International Women’s Day to everyone! – LHL

Happy international women’s day! While I’m happy to see all the new measures to support women especially mothers in the workplace, more needs to be done to provide support to single parents, particularly single mothers. Single mothers and their children are usually the ones who need the most support. It would be great if more could be done to help them.

Today's time is demanding that 21st century should be shaped by peace, humanity, goodness of nature, protection of forests and trees, protection of environment and protection of animal birds, to protect the coming generations, to destroy the enemies of world peace and humanity. To make the world a family, today is the mind of world,,,

Do reduce the retirement payout age to 60 at least.tq.Retirees only get abt $5K at 55..then have to wait another 10years to get the monthly payout..what if they are not fit to work anymore after 55..if not then release 10K at 55 if they have enough in the ordinary account & have paid out the housing loan.tq.

Thank you sir for acknowledging the importance of women in nation building. Love this pic. Hope the leaders continue to give women the support they need so they can juggle family and career.

Hey PM, just a languaging suggestion, how about the word "and" to replace the word "but" in the sentence "but women have a vital role"? 😉 Cheers for everything else.

What about women in tt age range who were homemakers but now working, and have yet to reach minimum retirement sum in CPF by age 55-60 years old? Are we included?
