SINGAPORE - From vulnerable segments of the population to the middle class and women, different groups of Singaporeans have been affected in different ways by the pandemic, and the Government has taken a customised approach to help them, said Deputy Prime Minister Heng Swee Keat on Friday (Feb 26).
There are the broad-based, permanent schemes that provide a safety net for all Singaporeans.
On top of these are temporary assistance schemes, such as initiatives like the Solidarity Payments, Temporary Relief Fund and Covid-19 Support Grant, to provide additional support, especially for vulnerable groups.
Addressing MPs concerns about those hit hard by the pandemic-fuelled downturn, Mr Heng, who is also Finance Minister, said: We cushioned the vulnerable against the worst of the crisis and mitigated social inequality.
