2.9 million adult S’poreans to receive Assurance Package support in December

They will get $200-$800 AP cash and AP Cash Special Payment.

To aid Singaporeans amidst higher inflation and decrease the impact of the GST rate increase, the government will provide 2.9 million adult Singaporeans with financial support under the Assurance Package (AP).

The package includes cash payments, rebates, Community Development Council (CDC) vouchers, and MediSave top-ups.

Adult Singaporeans aged 21 and up by 2024 will receive cash payouts in December 2023 under the enhanced AP.

The amount ranges from $200 to $800. About 2.9 million adult Singaporeans will receive up to $600 in AP Cash.

About 2.5 million adults will also receive up to $200 in AP Cash Special Payment.

On 28 September, DPM Wong announced an additional $1.1b Cost-of-Living (COL) Support Package to provide more relief for Singaporean households, especially lower- to middle-income families. The additional support includes a $0.8b enhancement to the AP, which brings its total to over $10b.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
