 Phua criticised the PAP 's " many helping hands " approach , where social services are provided by charities and overseen by the PAP . She said that special education should be led by the Ministry of Education ( MOE ) , as it had more resources and expertise . Minister for Community Development , Youth and Sports Vivian Balakrishnan defended the policy , arguing that it reduced bureaucracy and left jobs to the right people . However , the MOE agreed to play a more active role in special education , with increased funding and teacher training . The MOE also introduced more satellite classes in mainstream schools and helped special schools set targets for learning outcomes , such as O @-@ Level passes . In 2014 Phua also spoke out during the second reading of the Remote Gambling Bill , calling for a complete ban on remote gambling .
