GE2015: NSP's Kevryn Lim makes emotional call for benefits for single parents
SINGAPORE National Solidarity Party (NSP) candidate Kevryn Lim gave an impassioned speech at the party's Circuit Road rally on Monday night, calling for parenthood benefits for single parents and maternity leave for single mothers.
Ms Lim became tearful as she said: "In the pledge, it says based on justice and equality. These people are also Singaporeans." The 26-year-old, herself a single mother, recounted stories of parents she had met on walkabouts in rental blocks who were in such a plight.
