SINGAPORE : From May this year, the People's
Association plans to roll out programmes to engage women
better.
This was announced by Deputy Prime Minister Teo Chee Hean at the
International Women's Day carnival on Sunday morning.
One idea is to set up a virtual club just for ladies.
The portal, Her Cozy eCorner, will be led by women. It will provide
a range of information, from beauty tips to legal advice.
It aims to reach more working women.
Mr Teo also spoke on women's contribution to politics.
He said: "Every election, we try and bring in capable women. They
are an important part of our slate in every election because they
represent a very important segment of our society.
"But they do not just represent women, they are all very capable
MPs in their own right and they represent the men as well. So they
work for the whole community and they bring in a very useful
perspective."
