6-Year-Old Writes to PM Wong Saying She Doesn't Want More Siblings, Even for "Lots of Money"

Full Story: 6-Year-Old Writes to PM Wong — And Gets a Reply
Who's Involved
- Sarah, 6 years old — the letter-writer
- Humairah Suhaimi, 36 — Sarah's mother
- Adam, 9 — Sarah's older brother
- PM Lawrence Wong — Prime Minister of Singapore
How It All Started — 26 August 2026
On Wednesday 26 August, Humairah was joking with Sarah about having another baby. She brought up PM Wong's National Day Rally on 23 August, where new financial support packages for families having more children had just been announced. Humairah told Sarah: "The government will give families a lot of money to have more children."
Sarah became very upset and asked what she could do about it. Her mother, joking, told her: "If you really don't want another sibling, you'll have to write to PM Wong to apply for permission."
Sarah took it completely seriously. She took a piece of her brother Adam's homework paper and spent about 30 minutes writing the letter entirely by herself, with no help.
What the Letter Said
She addressed it: "Dear Lorens Wong"
Her key points:
- ❌ She does NOT want to become a big sister
- 💰 "Even if you want to give us a lot of money, we don't need more money."
- 👨👩👧👦 She is happy just with Mummy, Daddy, and Adam
- ⚠️ "If Adam wants more siblings, don't listen to him." — her brother actually does want another sibling!
- 💌 Ends with: "I love Singapore. Love, Sarah."
She was also worried she'd no longer be able to sleep next to her mother if a new baby arrived.
The Background: NDR 2026 & The Money
PM Wong announced the SG Child Support Package during the National Day Rally on 23 August 2026. It replaces the old Baby Bonus and Large Families schemes. Every Singaporean citizen child gets up to S$62,000 from birth to age 17 — plus existing MediSave and Edusave bring the total to around S$70,000 per child, regardless of birth order.
Breakdown:
- S$10,000 Baby Gift (cash)
- S$32,000 Child Credits (S$2,000/year × 16 years)
- S$5,000 CDA First Step Grant
- Up to S$5,000 CDA dollar-for-dollar matching
- S$10,000 PSEA top-up at age 17
Sending the Letter
Humairah originally saw it just as a fun writing exercise. But Sarah got more and more serious about it. Humairah shared the story on social media, and friends encouraged her to actually send it to the Prime Minister's Office — partly to see if PM Wong would reply. She did, and emailed PMO with the full story behind the letter.
Key Reassurance: Sarah Already Has Her Parents On Her Side
Sarah doesn't actually need to worry — her parents had already decided to stop at two children. They have no plans for a third. Adam, however, is the one who's been hoping for another sibling.
The family had also met PM Wong before — they took a photo with him at an event in January 2025. At home, they call him "Big Daddy" to make it easy for the kids to understand.
📬 PM Wong Replies — 31 August 2026
By the afternoon of 31 August, PM Wong had written back. His message to Sarah:
"You don't need my permission to remain the youngest child in your family."
He thanked her for writing, said it was lovely to remember meeting both her and Adam at the event last year, and reassured her that the decision belongs to her parents — not the government.
The Bottom Line
Sarah did her own cost-benefit analysis very quickly:
- ✅ More money = nice
- ❌ Another sibling = firmly rejected, no matter how much money is offered
