SINGAPORE – All households with at least one Singaporean member will receive a one-off $100 sum to cover their utility bills, Deputy Prime Minister Heng Swee Keat announced on Tuesday (May 26).
This sum, known as the Solidarity Utilities Credit, will be credited in their utilities bill in July or August and cover all property types.
It is a way of thanking Singaporeans for doing their part in the fight against Covid-19 by staying home, said Mr Heng, who is also Finance Minister.
“Singaporeans have given feedback that while they are saving on transport fares and other charges, they are expecting to spend more on their utility bills, as they stay home during the circuit breaker period,” he noted.
The Government will continue to provide help for immediate needs, he stressed.
