    It’s time to rejoice as the government disburses cash to all eligible households.

    Yes, I am talking about the GST Voucher scheme where a total of S$200 was paid out to 1.4 million citizens.

    The money should have been received on 23 June and constitutes a special, one-off payment.

    This group can look forward to another S$150 or S$300 (depending on your housing type) to be paid out by the end of this month.

    Meanwhile, Singapore consumer prices have risen 2.4% in May, notching up a seven-year high.

    To be sure, part of the rise was due to a low base from last year’s pandemic outbreak. 

    However, it also demonstrates the country’s resilience amid tough times.

    Putting some money into the pockets of 1.4 million citizens could provide a much needed boost as the Phase 3 movement restrictions are relaxed from 12 July. 

    We are optimistic that there will be better days ahead.  

    Here is a list of our top articles for the week.
