SINGAPORE - This year's Budget statement will be delivered next Tuesday (Feb 18) at 3pm by Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance Heng Swee Keat.

The rapidly evolving coronavirus situation, however, means post-Budget dialogues and engagement plans - such as "chit-chat sessions"- with residents typically organised by the People's Association (PA) and grassroots organisations to gather feedback could need adjustments.

The Ministry of Finance (MOF), PA and government feedback unit Reach said in a joint statement on Monday that they will keep those interested in the post-Budget feedback sessions updated on the arrangements on their websites or social media channels.

They also reminded residents of online feedback channels that they can also use to voice their views. These include the Singapore Budget website, Reach's Facebook and Instagram pages, and the feedback form on Reach's website.

The authorities added that Reach will have booths at the Institute of Technical Education (College West), Paya Lebar Square, the Nanyang Technological University and Waterway Point after the statement is delivered.

Minister in the Prime Minister's Office and Second Minister for Finance Indranee Rajah has said this year's Budget will be comprehensive, tackling issues from environmental sustainability to helping families cope with rising costs of living and caregiving needs.

 
 

Trade and Industry Minister Chan Chun Sing has also said the Budget will announce measures to help workers upskill, reskill and seize new opportunities, even as it addresses companies' needs in the challenging investment climate.

 

The Straits Times will be providing live coverage as Mr Heng announces the details in Parliament.

GST hike will not take place in 2021.   

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Assurance Package means all adult Singaporeans will get cash payouts of between $700 and $1,600 over five years so most households will get enough to offset at least five years' worth of additional GST expenses.
