2021-11-15 07:51:21 We have partnered with Singapore Post and Singapore Fashion Runway to release a #CelebratingSGWomen commemorative stamp!

The stamp was designed by Casey Ng, a 17 year-old artist with special needs from Singapore Fashion Runway, and Agnes Tan, a stamp designer.

They recreated the Celebrating SG Women logo with attributes and values of SG women, forming the image of our national flower, the Vanda Miss Joaquim.

Get this beautiful stamp across all Post Offices or online at https://shop.singpost.com/banners/celebrating-sg-women.html Open / Comment

2021-08-04 15:00:03 We hope that the recent amendments to the Child Development Co-Savings Act will help to make the parenthood journey more manageable for working parents.

The Government-Paid Paternity Benefit and Government-Paid Adoption Benefit schemes seek to support working fathers and adoptive mothers, who may not qualify for paternity leave or adoption leave, due to their employment arrangements. For parents who are retrenched or whose contracts have expired before they are able to use up their leave entitlements, they can also receive a benefit top-up for the leave that was forfeited.

Visit www.profamilyleave.gov.sg to find out more about these new schemes. Open / Comment
