In a statement, Lau said the assistance covered various forms of financial aid, including support for dialysis treatment, education, death benefits, newborn benefits and other medical assistance. She hoped such initiatives would inspire more people to come forward and help those in need, working together to build a caring and compassionate society. 'The newborn benefits are part of the 'Welcome, Lanang New Born' initiative which was launched in September last year. Parents can submit copies of their identity cards and the newborn's birth certificate to the Lanang MP's Service Centre within 90 days of the baby's birth. 'Under this programme, newborn babies born on or after Sept 16, 2024, with one biological parent registered as a Lanang voter, are eligible for the newborn benefits,' she said. Meanwhile, Lau also presented Minor Rural Project (MRP) funds to 54 organisations. Lau also reminded representatives of organisations that they were required to submit reports after receiving grants and hosting events for transparency and integrity. 'If organisations receive grants but do not submit reports, they will be blacklisted by the relevant authorities. This would result in their next application (of grants) being rejected,' she cautioned. For applications related to dialysis aid, educational aid, death benefits, medical aid, disaster relief, or other welfare assistance, Lau advised the public to visit the Lanang MP's Service Centre at No. 2, Lorong Lanang 82 during office hours.
