Not enough aid? 86% of Singaporeans want gov't to do more vs inflation

In June, the government announced a $1.5b support package for lower-income groups.

Singaporeans find the $1.5b support package from the government insufficient to help them live through rising prices, a survey by YouGov has found.

Based on the survey, 86% of Singaporeans want the government to do more against inflation beyond the relief package announced in June.

Of the 86%, 48% said a lot more should be done to help people feel secure amidst sharp prices.

Across age groups, Gen X (88%) are the most expectant of greater support from the government.

YouGov said the demand for more support is a sign that Singaporeans are feeling the pressure of the increased cost of living.

True enough, YouGov found that the cost of living of 94% of Singaporeans surveyed has gone up from a year ago.

Of the 94%, 72% said their cost of living has gone up a lot over the past 12 months, while 22% said it only changed a little.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
