SINGAPORE, Jan 1 (The Straits Times): The Workers' Party will be tracking the Government's efforts in supporting Singaporeans who need the most help, as cost of living will likely be a major pressure point in 2022, said party chief Pritam Singh on Friday (Dec 31).

The party will also expand or launch community schemes such as a bursary for primary school pupils and a subsidy scheme for seniors living alone, said Pritam in his second New Year message since becoming Leader of the Opposition.
