    "content": " Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I want to let the Chairman know that I propose a definition of differential treatment. I was once before a three-judge bench on the issue of differential treatment in the case of RN versus the Attorney-General. The child was two years old. The bench found that differential treatment is not discriminatory. It is positive. It is about treating a child in a different manner that is beneficial to the child. How can treating a child in a manner that is beneficial to her or him be negative? We should not confuse differential treatment with discrimination. You can Google what differential treatment is. It is not discrimination. If you look at decided cases, differential treatment is not discriminatory treatment. I encourage your legal team to look at the case of RN versus the Attorney-General. You can get it from the Cradle. I do not remember its citation. Based on the decision that the court made, we included Article 53(g) in the Constitution. It deals with the issue of non-discrimination. Let us not confuse discrimination and differential treatment. I propose a definition of differential treatment. I can see the Chairman is consulting. With your permission, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I can read my proposed amendment to define differential treatment."
