In a bid to increase the presence of more nursing rooms in Singapore, all new bus and MRT interchanges will have more breastfeeding-friendly spaces, according to Transport Minister Khaw Boon Wan.
The announcement came as a written answer to parliamentary questions by Member of Parliament Louis Ng, who wanted to know how many MRT stations and bus interchanges in Singapore hosted facilities for mothers to breastfeed their babies.
He further wanted to know if there were any lactation rooms available for mothers to use, and if the Ministry of Transport could make it compulsory for at least one of the two to be made available at all transport hubs.
More nursing rooms in Singapore transport hubs, interchanges
In response, Minister Khaw noted today (March 26) that the Government will provide nursing rooms at all new bus interchanges and integrated transport hubs, as well as new MRT interchange stations.
“There are nursing rooms at 50 per cent of our bus interchanges,” said Mr Khaw. “We will provide nursing rooms at all new bus interchanges and integrated transport hubs,” he added.
