SINGAPORE (Feb 19): The government will continue to support households with their expenses, said Finance Minster Heng Swee Keat in his Budget 2018 statement.

About 900,000 eligible HDB households will receive 1.5 to 3.5 months of rebate on their Service and Conservancy Charges (S&CC).

To continue supporting families who need help caring for young children, the elderly, or family members with disabilities, the government will retain the concessionary Foreign Domestic Worker (FDW) levy of $60.
