During the debate on the Ministry of Health’s budget last week, Tampines Group Representation Constituency Member of Parliament Cheng Li Hui reiterated her call that egg freezing be allowed here in view of Singapore’s ageing demographics.

” also described employer-sponsored egg freezing by foreign companies.

First and foremost, the high financial costs of egg freezing would likely result in company sponsorship being an elite corporate perk restricted to a small select group of high-value and well-paid female employees. This is completely unlike employee medical benefits for the treatment of life or health-threatening conditions, which is involuntary and not the result of personal choice.

Thirdly, by sponsoring egg freezing, employers may in fact have a hidden agenda of unfair and unreasonable expectations for these women to shove aside their plans of having kids earlier in life, so that they can devote more of their youth, time and energy to the company.
