SINGAPORE - How far the law should, and can, encroach into what is essentially a private space, is a question that policymakers will continue to grapple with in deciding the direction of family law, said Minister for Culture, Community and Youth Edwin Tong on Tuesday (Sept 28).
Another issue that will come to the fore is which way the law should go when society holds starkly diverse views on social and ethical issues, he added.
Mr Tong, who is also Second Minister for Law, was giving the keynote address at the start of a two-day conference on family law, organised by the Law Society of Singapore and held virtually.
