SINGAPORE: Singapore will unveil additional support for businesses and households today, less than two weeks after announcing a S$48bil (RM145.4bil) stimulus package to buffer the impact of the coronavirus (Covid-19).
The government plans to waive foreign worker levies for April and boost an existing jobs support programme, Deputy Prime Minister Heng Swee Keat said in a Facebook post on Saturday. The measures follow the government’s latest move to shut schools and most workplaces from this week. Heng didn’t elaborate on other measures or how much authorities will spend.
