I am all for Mr Cheong Tuck Kuan’s three wishes of lower taxes, a better COE system and no using of mobile phones while walking (My top three wishes for 2025, Dec 6). My three wishes are for children.
School hours should be from 9am to 3.30pm. Children need not wake up at 6am and then sleep in the school bus or car on the way to school.
Give free, nutritious lunches to all needy primary school pupils. Children should not be deprived of food that their peers can afford to eat in school.
Provide free medical care for all children up to the age of 12. Since children are the country’s treasures, it is best to take care of their health when they are young.
I wish Singapore a blessed and glorious 2025.
