It was part of the second Five-Year National Family Planning Programme (1972–75) that was unveiled at the launch of the 1972 National Family Planning Campaign. As part of the two-child policy, the government introduced a set of disincentives pertaining to childbirth fees, income tax, maternity leave and prioritisation of public housing allocation aimed at penalising couples who had more than two children from 1 August 1973 onwards. In addition, the government launched an array of family-planning events to garner public support for the policy. Among the most notable activities were the publicity campaigns that carried messages such as “Small families, brighter future – Two is enough” and “The more you have, the less they get – Two is enough”. | [Two-child policy] -- Background -- Introduction of the two-child policy -- Penalising large families -- Campaigning for a two-family norm -- Clinical measures -- Results and revision -- References. | Singapore--Population policy|Family size--Government policy--Singapore | Politics and Government {18336134} | eng | NLB Collections>>Singapore Collection>>Singapore Infopedia | Article {18335714} | NA | The information on this page and any images that appear here may be used for private research and study purposes only.

The ALS was the world’s first area licensing scheme when it was launched in Singapore. It was one of a series of stringent measures undertaken by the Singapore government to ease traffic congestion in the city area.

In 1901, this function was taken over by the Municipal Commissioners, and gas production was expanded for industrial and home use. Kallang Gasworks was decommissioned in March 1998 and its function was taken over by Senoko Gasworks. | [Kallang Gasworks] -- Early history -- Modern gas works -- References. | Gas companies--Singapore|Public utilities--Singapore|Singapore--History | Public utilities {18486592} | eng | NLB Collections>>Singapore Collection>>Singapore Infopedia {10126} | Article {18335714} | NA | The information on this page and any images that appear here may be used for private research and study purposes only.

Since its exclusion from the Malayan Union in 1946, seeking a union with Malaya had been Singapore’s projected path to secure economic viability and achieve independence. However, the path towards merger was not easy because the former British colony had to overcome reservations held by the Malayan government in Kuala Lumpur and manage the political fallout caused by the far-left in Singapore. | NA | NA | Politics and Government {18336134}|Economy {18486515} | eng | NLB Collections>>Singapore Collection>>Singapore Infopedia | Article {18335714} | NA | The information on this page and any images that appear here may be used for private research and study purposes only.

These matters had previously been handled separately by several government bodies. PSD was transferred to the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) in 1994. The division now manages the human resource and development policies of public service officers as well as provides support for the “Public Service for the 21st Century” (PS21) movement aimed at building a first-class public service for Singapore. | [Public Service Division] -- Background -- Establishment -- Later developments -- References. | Singapore.
