Covid-19 crisis Unity, Resilience and Solidarity Budgets
My friend said.
Mr, Tan,

I received this letter from finance minister Heng.

"As part of the Unity, Resilience and Solidarity Budgets, the Government has provided a $4.6 billion Care and Support Package and another $1.1 billion for a Solidarity Payment. These will give more assurance and support to Singaporeans and their families during this challenging period.

You would have received the $600 Solidarity Payment in April of which $300 was brought forward from the Care and Support - Cash. Together with the latest payment of Care and Support - Cash, these are the benefits you would have received.
Solidarity Payment $600
Passion Card Top-up paid in cash $100."

Hello, finance minister. I catch no ball, OK? Why so complicated?

What a minute! The total of $4.6 billion and $1.1 billion is $5.7 billion. But the government is spending $95 billion! Where does the other $90 billion go to?

I may be elderly, but I am not stupid - OK?

Tan Kin Lian
