The $600 Solidarity Payment would have helped this family of three pay for their daily needs and utilities for a few months. But Miss Rina Ang and her parents decided that others may need the money more.

The 29-year-old who works part-time as a telephone operator told The New Paper: “I discussed it with my parents, and we all felt we can manage since we get other financial assistance from the Government.

“There are many others who may need the money more than us.”

Her father works as a cleaner and her mother is a housewife. Together, they kept $100 each and donated a total of $1,500 to Giving.sg

Singaporeans aged 21 and above received a $600 payout from the Government on Tuesday, to tide them over the Covid-19 outbreak.

But some Singaporeans chose to donate their Solidarity Payment to charities instead.
