Can the government consider increasing the range of the children age group, preferably to at least 12 years old? Although Children in this age group are more independant, they would still need our attention, guidance and companionship. Since Childcare Leave is meant for parents to spend more time with their children – to care for them and to tend to their needs, isn't it more meaningful if it is being extended to employees with children beyond the age group of 7 years old? The 6 days of Child Care leave granted makes a great difference as it is almost half our annual leave. The annual leave is set aside to meet contingencies needs for our parents and children. The extra 6 days leave would help to lighten the burden on both working parents who have to juggle their time between work and home.

Althought we are given baby bonus, most of the baby bonus money had to be given to maternity hopitalisation fee and medical check up. We had to think about money before giving birth, bring up a child is not easy especially if there is complication.
