What Is the CDC Vouchers Scheme?
The CDC (Community Development Council) Vouchers Scheme was first introduced in 2020 as a pandemic support measure. Since then, it has evolved into a broader cost-of-living relief program. The vouchers aim to:
- Offset daily living expenses for households
- Drive footfall to heartland shops and hawkers
- Promote inclusive economic growth by supporting small businesses
