According to the source: "The Maintenance of Parents Act allows Singapore residents aged 60 years and above - who are unable to provide for themselves - to claim maintenance from their children who are capable of supporting them, but are not doing so.

The Maintenance of Parents Bill was passed in Parliament on November 2, 1995.
