Why This Matters: Seniors Hit Hardest by Rising Costs
Singapore’s cost of living isn’t exactly chill these days. From hawker food to MRT rides to basic medical care, prices are creeping up – and seniors, many of whom are retired or on fixed incomes, are feeling the squeeze.
Finance Minister Lawrence Wong recently said,
“We will continue to strengthen our support for seniors, especially those with lower income, so they can age with dignity and peace of mind.”
This payment is part of that commitment.
