The Government, businesses and citizens must also work together and expand opportunities for Singapore's senior workforce, he said. Ms Cheryl Chan said groups like vulnerable seniors, families with little financial support and people with special needs are particularly affected in coping with the pressure and stress brought about from the challenges from the external environment.
Meanwhile, Progress Singapore Party Non-Constituency MP Hazel Poa called for an enhancement to the Covid-19 Support Grant, such that it can offer financial assistance for a longer period of time to those affected by the pandemic.
