i think you may, as long as you are singapore citizen, you can sponsor them..if they are aged parents...

u can refer to : http://app.ica.gov.sg/index.asp

or even give them a call to enquire, thats the safest way to know..
ICA Hotline : +65 6391 6100

Thanks kitin,my parents age are above 50.Im a housewife,only my husband is working,do u think its best if ill let my husband sponsor them instead of me?thanks again,appreciate your help

i suggest you give ICA a call to check with them if sponsorship of aged parents is inclusive of in-laws ( i presume they are your parents right) ... it might be better if your husband (who's working) to sponsor them, as it means he has the ability to support them. But its advisable for you to confirm with ICA, rather than making unecessary mistakes which might lead to rejection.. btw, your husband's a Singapore Citizen too right...
