Civil servants to receive annual $500 well-being subsidy

The government also enhanced the medical and dental benefits of civil servants.

Starting in October, eligible civil servants will receive a $500 annual benefit that they can use for health, growth, and well-being through the FlexiGrow programme.

In addition, the Public Service Division will also raise the cap for medical and dental benefits from 1 January 2025.

The subsidy cap for medical expenses at private clinics will increase from $20 to $50 per visit, whilst dental subsidies for private and public clinics will rise from $120 to $250 per year.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
