Ministers Masagos and Maliki disagree with WP MP Faisal on allowing tudung in uniformed jobs

March 09, 2021 The uniform policy in the public service cannot be tilted towards any particular religious belief. The Straits Times file SINGAPORE - Singapore s approach to dealing with sensitive issues like the wearing of the tudung, or headscarf, in certain professions is to discuss them behind closed doors as open discussion may lead to serious ramifications and have an impact on religious harmony. Minister-in-charge of Muslim Affairs Masagos Zulkilfi and Minister in the Prime Minister s Office Maliki Osman made this point as they responded to a suggestion by Workers Party MP Faisal Manap (Aljunied GRC) to allow Muslim nurses to don the tudung as part of their uniform.

WP s Gerald Giam urges fair compensation for NSmen injured in service

- Advertisement - Singapore—At the Ministry of Defence’s (MINDEF) Committee of Supply debate in Parliament on Monday (March 1), Workers’ Party Member of Parliament Gerald Giam (Aljunied GRC) called for fair compensation for soldiers injured during service. “Singapore’s defence strategy is dependent largely on the contributions of our National Servicemen. It is important that, should our soldiers suffer injuries in the course of their service to the nation, they will be fairly compensated. This will give them the assurance to give their best during training and operations,” Mr Giam said. He then proceeded to ask whether the current $150,000 Group Term Life and Group Personal Accident insurance cover operationally-ready National Servicemen.
