SINGAPORE: Neighbourhood merchants are expecting better business after it was announced on Tuesday (Feb 16) that all Singaporean households will receive Community Development Council (CDC) vouchers for use at participating heartland shops and hawker centres.
Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Heng Swee Keat said in his Budget speech on Tuesday that each Singaporean household would receive S$100 in CDC vouchers, in a bid to boost business for hawkers and heartland shops.
