Sylvia Lim calls for Public Guardian donee option and lower LPA fees for migrant workers

During Parliament sitting on 5 March 2026, Workers’ Party MP for Aljunied GRC Sylvia Lim highlighted two groups she said may not be benefiting from the Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) regime — those without relatives or friends to appoint as donees, and low-wage foreign workers. She suggested allowing donors to appoint the Office of the Public Guardian or the Public Trustee's Office as donees so that the appointment can remain valid over time. Ms Lim also raised concerns about the S$230 LPA registration fee for foreigners, saying it can be prohibitive for low-wage migrant workers, and suggested allowing them to make LPAs either free of charge or at a nominal fee.
