The Chairman: Any other clarifications from any Member? If not, can I invite Mr Melvin Yong, if you like, to withdraw your amendment?
Mr Melvin Yong Yik Chye: Thank you, Chairman. I would like to thank Minister Msagos Zulkifli, Minister of State Sun Xueling, Senior Parliamentary Secretary Eric Chua and the MSF team working very hard behind the scenes now, for addressing the wide range of issues that Members have raised.
Social and family issues are deeply complex. What manifests on the surface is often the result of layers upon layers of varied issues. We have learned that there can never be a silver bullet that would resolve the overlapping problems that distress family faces, but I am heartened that MSF and the social service sector are doing their best to support and to help vulnerable Singaporeans and foster a caring society. Their work is often unseen but crucial and commendable. Chairman, with that, I beg leave to withdraw my amendment.
Amendment, by leave, withdrawn.
The sum of $4,565,896,900 for Head I ordered to stand part of the Main Estimates.
The sum of $124,079,000 for Head I ordered to stand part of the Development Estimates.
The Chairman: Order. I propose to take a break now.
Thereupon Mr Speaker left the Chair of the Committee and took the Chair of the House.
Mr Speaker: Order. I propose to take a break now. I suspend the Sitting and will take the Chair at 4.40 pm.
