SINGAPORE: Acting Minister for Social and Family Development Chan Chun Sing said his ministry will focus on how to better deliver social services to the people.
This comes after Finance Minister Tharman Shanmugaratnam announced that Budget Day this year will be on February 25.
Mr Chan spoke to reporters on the sidelines of a community event on Sunday morning.
He noted that beyond adjusting and tweaking some of the policies, it is important to assess how these policies can be systematically implemented across the ministry's entire span of social services.
He added that announcements will be made by his ministry in the lead-up to Budget Day.
Mr Chan said: "The focus is not just on the policies alone, of course that we will do, but the focus is also to make sure that we organise ourselves better so that we prepare the ground and set up the social service infrastructure for the many years to come so that in time to come when our social needs increase, when we have more social challenges, we have what we call the social service infrastructure in place to deliver the help to the people in need."
