SINGAPORE - Family matters – including expanding the definition of family violence to include coercive or controlling behaviour, as well as steps to prevent survivors from being forced to give their abusers maintenance – were discussed in Parliament, in two separate Bills passed on Tuesday.Remote video URL
These forms of controlling behaviour, known in some jurisdictions as coercive control, can also cause distress or mental harm to a survivor.Elderly parents seeking monetary support from their children will soon have to declare if they have had any record of abusing, abandoning or neglecting their children.
The Maintenance of Parents Bill, which was passed on Tuesday, also saw other amendments including the introduction of non-monetary orders, such as ordering a gambling addict parent to attend counselling.Mr Seah Kian Peng said the amendments seek to strike the right balance by strengthening provisions for parents while introducing measures to prevent the law’s misuse.
He was responding to a parliamentary question from Associate Professor Jamus Lim on the incidence of adverse effects from the second Covid-19 booster jab, compared with earlier rounds of the vaccine.Dr Janil shared that based on Health Sciences Authority surveillance, as at May 31, the serious adverse event rate of the mRNA Covid-19 vaccines in Singapore was two in 100,000 doses for the second booster dose.
“Instead of counting doses, the current phrasing better communicates the recommendation for the longer term,” he said. Transport Minister S. Iswaran said that between 2020 and 2022, the Monetary Authority of Singapore received 12 complaints from motorists about counterparties failing to file an accident report with their insurer, while the Land Transport Authority received one complaint.
