THE Ministry of Community Development, Youth and Sports (MCYS) is reviewing all its help schemes to make sure that Singaporeans, especially children, do not fall through the cracks during the current recession. Minister for Community Development, Youth and Sports Vivian Balakrishnan told The Straits Times yesterday: 'We are going through all our schemes affecting families to see if they are recession-proof, meaning that no matter how tough things get, children must not suffer.'

Hence, the MCYS is studying the eligibility criteria of various schemes, working with its partners, among other things, to come up with a social safety net that is 'robust enough' to weather even a prolonged recession. Yesterday, the MCYS released its plans and priorities for the coming years, in its addendum to the President's Address. In it, Dr Balakrishnan pledged to update ComCare schemes which provide financial aid, among other help, to the needy, so that they remain 'relevant and adequate'.

Dr Balakrishnan also told The Straits Times that its focus is also on women, to ensure that they have access to support services as families face greater strain with the gloomy economy. The MCYS will also provide more funding for the childcare sector and aims to facilitate the development of another 200 childcare centres in the next five years.
