SINGAPORE: Mr Sam Tan, who will be promoted to Minister of State in the Prime Minister’s Office and the Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth, said his immediate priority is to ensure that new measures such as the Pioneer Generation Package and MediShield Life are fully communicated to Singaporeans.

Mr Tan said his experience on the ground over the last 30 years will enable him to better communicate the benefits of these measures to different segments of the population.

He said: “For every major programme or policy, the last mile delivery is always the most crucial so if we are able to deliver the service clearly, efficiently, warmly and friendly to the people, then I think the recipients of the service or programme will feel that their concerns have been addressed and their views have been heard.”

“And the most important thing is that they feel that they can benefit from the programmes,” Mr Tan added.
