Mr Lawrence Wong (for the Prime Minister): Over the past three years, the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) received fewer than 10 consumer appeals or complaints relating to issues with getting insurance coverage by persons with disabilities, on the autism spectrum or with mental health conditions. Prior to this period, MAS received an average of less than one case per year of such nature.
