Dr Kanwaljit Soin asked the Minister for Health (a) whether a Singapore government representative was sent to attend the 1994 International Conference on Population and Development in Cairo and, if not, what is the reason; and (b) whether Singapore signed the ICPD Programme of Action.
BG George Yong-Boon Yeo: Singapore was represented at the 1994 International Conference on Population & Development (ICPD) in Cairo at the Senior Officials level. Dr Paul Cheung, Director (Population Planning Unit), led the Singapore delegation.
No signatory is required for the ICPD Programme of Action as the document is only meant to serve as a guide for countries to draw up their own population programmes.
