SINGAPORE, Feb 21 (The Straits Times/ANN): When Singapore entered the circuit breaker period last April, Toby Koh, group managing director of Ademco Security Group, was concerned that his security firm would suffer financial loss.

But with help from the Jobs Support Scheme (JSS), which helps employers pay a portion of their workers' monthly salary, he not only managed to retain all 253 existing full-time staff, he even managed to expand his workforce.
