    "content": " For avoidance of doubt, I am the Mover of this Bill, and I have gone through it clause by clause. For avoidance of doubt, I would like to ask Members to look at Clause 10, which we passed. The new Subsection (5) under Clause 10(e) states that the contributions made to the Fund under Subsection (2) shall be mandatory. Because of that, we move to Clause 15 to remove the voluntary aspect which was provided for in the parent Act under Section 20. Making it mandatory in Clause 10 killed the voluntary aspect in Section 20 of the parent Act. I know we want to cater for the youth. The amendment that I brought on all the people and the different categories has already taken care of that. The Board will determine the rates for the different categories. It is very clear and no one has amended that. New subsection (5) in Clause 10(e) states very clearly that the contributions made to the Fund shall be mandatory. That meant that we had to delete Section 20 of the principal Act, which provided for the voluntary aspect."
