Prime Minister Lawrence Wong said the government is exploring additional ways to strengthen Singapore's support system for households, families and workers as the external environment grows more uncertain.
Speaking at a Singapore Press Club Eminent Speaker Series event on June 8, Wong said Singapore needs to stay adaptable, capable and employable over time. The remarks were first reported by CNA and also covered by The Star.
Support system under review
Wong did not announce a specific new policy in the reporting, but signalled that the government is examining how to provide more support as economic and geopolitical uncertainty deepens.
The broader message aligns with recent official statements from the Prime Minister's Office, which have stressed continued support for young Singaporeans and families and a social safety net that can respond to changing conditions.
Why it matters
The comments point to an ongoing policy focus on resilience, with the government weighing how to keep workers and families adaptable in a more volatile global economy.
What follows may come through future speeches, parliamentary updates or the next Budget cycle, but no concrete new measure was identified in the reporting.
