Leave alone is insufficient to help working parents. What other measures would be useful for them?

Make it compulsory for companies to provide working mothers with flexi-work arrangements - and ensure that those who opt for such arrangements are not ostracised by colleagues and are given equal opportunities for performance-related incentives.

Shorten their working day by about two hours, with the Government bearing the cost.

Should people volunteer only for altruistic reasons? Would volunteer numbers drop if there were no incentives?

Volunteers can offer their time but should be reimbursed if they are required to shell out any money when volunteering.

Should the Tuas mega port have cafes and retail stores? Is it a bad idea to combine a port with leisure amenities?

Should be okay as long as these activities are located outside port boundaries and do not interfere with port operations.

The authorities must be able to attract crowds to these places so that the businesses there won't suffer.

It is always good to have a common place to stay, work, rest and chill out.
