SINGAPORE: A workgroup has been formed to review the Maintenance of Parents Act to better meet the needs of the elderly, the Ministry of Social and Family Development (MSF) announced on Friday (Jan 7).
......
The Act, which came into effect in 1995, serves to provide elderly people, who are unable to maintain themselves adequately, with a legal channel to seek maintenance from their children.
It was last amended in 2010 through a Private Member’s Bill tabled in Parliament by Mr Seah, with the key amendment being the establishment of a conciliation-first approach to resolve maintenance disputes.
......
the workgroup would also seek the views of relevant social and community agencies.
Those interested in participating in the focus group discussions may indicate their interest at go.gov.sg/mpafocusgroups.
