SINGAPORE - Muslim women from disadvantaged families have been supplementing their household income amid job losses and wage cuts, but many are not aware that they can receive help, President Halimah Yacob said on Wednesday (May 5).
Speaking to reporters during a visit to the newly renovated family service centre the Singapore Muslim Women s Association (PPIS) runs in Bukit Batok, Madam Halimah said: The family service centre here provides a very good touch point for them to come into access to services, whether it s financial, housing or education.
Noting that some of the women have heavy responsibilities at home and can commit to home-based work only, Madam Halimah said the PPIS family service centre can help them acquire the skills, capabilities and connections for home-based baking and other kinds of home-based work.
