lemme quote~

Usually we are so not really keen in the National Day Rally. But ydae's English speech by the PM really stunned us. Yet we're not sure when it'll take effect.


"Paid maternity leave will be extended from 12 weeks to 16 weeks, and the extra four weeks can be taken anytime during the baby's first year. It was previously extended from eight to 12 weeks in 2004."

"There will also be a larger baby bonus for first-time parents, more tax incentives to encourage mothers to work, more incentives for the fifth and subsequent children, and more financial support for couples who go for In-Vitro Fertilisation (IVF) treatment."

"Childcare leave, which can be claimed by either parent, will be extended from two to six days per year."

"There will also be one week of unpaid infant-care leave per year, and mums or dads can claim it until their child turns two years old."
