Understanding the Assurance Package
The Singapore government introduced the Assurance Package (AP) to help citizens manage the rising cost of living and to cushion the impact of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) increase. This comprehensive package includes various forms of support, such as cash payouts, MediSave top-ups, and U-Save rebates.
The goal is to provide financial assistance to Singaporeans across different income levels and age groups, ensuring that no one gets left behind amid rising expenses.
