SINGAPORE: Singaporeans will receive higher Cost-of-Living (COL) special payments and platform workers will get cash relief under new measures rolled out in response to the war in Iran.

The new support package will cost close to S$1 billion on top of what was committed at Budget 2026, Senior Minister of State for Finance Jeffrey Siow said on Tuesday (Apr 7).

The one-off COL special payment – announced during Budget and to be disbursed in September – will be topped up by S$200.

Eligible adult Singaporeans with an assessable income of up to S$100,000, who do not own more than one property, will now receive between S$400 and S$600 in cash. About 2.4 million Singaporeans are expected to benefit.

Also announced at Budget 2026 and originally due in January 2027, the next tranche of S$500 in Community Development Council (CDC) vouchers will instead be disbursed in June this year.

The vouchers, which are valid until Dec 31, 2027 and will cost the government S$700.07 million, are expected to benefit about 1.4 million Singaporean households.


Mr Siow added that the government was closely monitoring the prices of food and other essential goods and services.

“So far, rising fuel prices have not yet fully percolated into wider price increases across the economy,” Mr Siow said in a ministerial statement delivered in parliament.

“Given the heightened uncertainty in the Middle East, it is still too early update our projections of inflation in Singapore, or to quantify the full impact on households. But we know the situation has amplified cost-of-living anxieties for Singaporeans.”

The household measures were meant to reassure Singaporeans that cost increases in the coming months can be managed, he added.

Earlier, in a separate ministerial statement, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Trade and Industry Gan Kim Yong warned that the crisis caused by the Middle East conflict was unlikely to be over anytime soon, and Singapore must be prepared for its effects to persist for some time.

Pap wan sui...

The PAP is worried about its waning popularity after the empty promises leading up to last year's GE, so they pulled out their one-trick-pony card.

You tell the JB KTV hostess to visit S'pore and use the vouchers at the Woodlands Hawker Centre.

After the vouchers, we still have to deal with high prices and to pay back by other taxes especially gst?

The PAP wants to distract us while they continue their plunder.

The PAP tells S'poreans to do with a lower quality of life, but are unwilling to do the same.

 

[glockman]

High fucking time! Since I am paying more for cigarettes now, I expect some refund from them.

 

[True Believer]

Our Ministers lie with a straight face and big smile.

 

[True Believer]

After forcibly taking our whole chicken, the PAP is now handing back a wing to each of us:

 

[KingFook Sr]

No wonder the 'beer lady' is smiling.

 

[jurongkechil]

Expensive.
