‘Indranee Rajah can learn from him’: Singapore commenter praises NYC Parents’ Night Out initiative
The Parents’ Night Out initiative gave parents four hours off on Sunday (Aug 16) by providing activities for children aged 6 to 13 from over 250 families. This article ( ‘Indranee Rajah can learn from him’: Singapore commenter praises NYC Parents’ Night Out initiative ) first appeared on The Independent Singapore News .
A local commenter in Singapore praised New York City's Mayor Zohran Mamdani for creating a Parents’ Night Out initiative that allows parents to have a few hours to themselves every Sunday. This initiative provides activities for children aged 6 to 13, giving parents the opportunity to run errands, catch a movie, or go on a date without worrying about childcare costs.
Mayor Mamdani highlighted that New York City, like Singapore, is an expensive city, especially for housing, and that childcare costs in the Big Apple are particularly high. He mentioned that the city would eventually offer free daycare to each child under the age of five and that the initiative would help families afford to stay in the city.
After the media outlet featured the New York initiative, a local commenter on Facebook took notice and suggested that Singapore's Minister Indranee Rajah could learn something from Mayor Mamdani.
