COVID-19 has shown us the importance of planning ahead in times of uncertainty. With a Lasting Power of Attorney, we are better able to protect the interests of those we care for and make important decisions for them if they lose their mental capacity to do so.
The fee waiver for Lasting Power of Attorney Form 1 applications by Singaporean Citizens has now been extended to 31 March 2023. We hope that this will provide more time for Singaporeans to make your LPA and prepare for your golden years. Visit www.msf.gov.sg/OPG to find out more.

Seeking support early for issues we often face at home prevents problems from snowballing and helps us see things from a different perspective. If you are experiencing marital, divorce or parenting issues and wish to speak to someone, the Community Psychology Hub (CPH) offers free-of-charge live chat (Monday to Friday, 9am to 6pm) and email counselling services with anonymous sign-ups. Our counsellors can help you work towards solutions to forge stronger bonds with your family.
This service is a joint initiative by MSF and CPH. Visit www.cphonlinecounselling.sg to find out more.
