800,000 HDB households to get $77m rebates

It will be disbursed over 3 months.

According to the Ministry of Finance, around 800,000 Singaporean HDB households can expect to receive $77 million worth of Service & Conservancy Charges (S&CC) rebates in 2013.

These S&CC rebates were announced during Budget 2013 to help households cope with increases in the cost of living.

In total, each eligible Singaporean household will receive 1 to 3 months of S&CC rebates, depending on HDB flat type. Eligible households will receive a letter in April with more details of the S&CC rebates they will be getting. The rebates will be disbursed over the months of April, July and October.

The S&CC rebates will be used to offset a household’s S&CC directly. For households who pay their S&CC through GIRO or any electronic mode of payment, Town Councils will arrange with the banks on the S&CC payments to take the rebates into account.

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.
