https://www.straitstimes.com/live-singapore-parliament-april-2026 All eligible Singaporeans will get $200 more as part of the Cost-of-Living Special Payment that was announced at Budget 2026. This means that each person will receive between $400 and $600, says Mr Siow. About 2.4 million Singaporeans will receive this additional payment in cash, to be given in September, he notes. The Government will also bring forward the $500 CDC Vouchers disbursement announced in Budget 2026 from January 2027 to June 2026, to reassure Singaporeans that cost increases in the impending months can be managed. It is tracking the prices of food and other essential goods and services very closely, he says. “So far, rising fuel prices have not yet fully percolated into wider price increases across the economy.” Given the heightened uncertainty in the Middle East, it is still too early to update projections of inflation in Singapore, or to quantify the full impact on households, he adds. “But we know the situation has amplified cost of living anxieties for Singaporeans.” https://www.channelnewsasia.com/sin...-war-ministerial-statement-parliament-6038391 “No Singaporean will be left behind” “To fund these measures, the government will work within the amount approved in the Supply Act last month in the first instance, and seek parliament’s approval for the supplementary budget later on,” said Mr Siow. He added that Singaporeans can count on a government that is well-prepared, builds sufficient buffers, anticipates problems and is able to respond swiftly with solutions. “We will always make sure that no Singaporean is left to bear the burden alone,” he added.
