A Good Samaritan Food Donation Act is being drafted in Singapore. The legislation, which protects food donors from specific civil and criminal liabilities subject to safeguards, was drafted with assistance from Charmaine Yap while she was at Drew & Napier. Louis Ng first proposed the need for the legislation in 2020, and the Bill was introduced in July 2024 and passed unanimously the following month.
