SINGAPORE (Mar 26): While the bulk of the $48 billion Resilience Budget is going towards helping businesses and workers stay afloat, Singapore households and individuals have not been left out.

For one, the $1.6 billion Care and Support package announced at Budget 2020 in February has been upsized to $4.6 billion.

The government is also freezing all government fees and charges for a year, starting from April and ending in March next year. Student loans repayment and interest charges on loans for university and polytechnic studies will also be suspended from June up to May 2021.
