Launch of Mother and Child Project

In December 2005, Dr Maliki Osman, Parliamentary Secretary for Community Development, Youth and Sports, launched Mother And Child Project.
Dr Maliki's statement to Channel News Asia was:
"This programme benefits all the mothers. Because they can do it at home or they can do it at the centre..."
Furthermore, the "programme not only helps disadvantaged mothers become economically self-sufficient, it also offers a network of support for these mothers who want to provide a better future for their children."

Prime Minister Acknowledges Mother And Child Project

Prime Minister launches the ComCare Fund
n 28 June 2005, the Prime Minister launched ComCare, which will help to ensure that no Singaporean is left behind while Singapore progresses. With economic restructuring, a small but growing minority of Singaporeans will face hardship. ComCare will provide a safety net for this small group, and serve as a springboard for them to become self-reliant. With ComCare, there will be more targeted services for needy Singaporeans to achieve self-reliance, helping the children from needy families break out of the poverty cycle and assisting those who need community care and support.
