SINGAPORE, Feb 13 (SCMP): Singapore’s Finance Minister Heng Swee Keat has made no secret of wanting some normalcy this year after a coronavirus pandemic-riven 2020 in which he unveiled four budgets – and two supplementary sets of stimulus measures – that added up to nearly S$100 billion (US$75 billion).
“My wish for this year is one budget,” the minister quipped during an interview with The Straits Times in January, recalling how he had addressed parliament on spending plans an unprecedented six times last year.
