With the current circuit breaker, the government had announced additional subsidies which I feel is pretty good especially if you stay in a 4 room flat or smaller. As it means in Apr, we (Singaporeans) will get $600 each + pretty much waiver of utilities bill as well as Service and Conservancy Charges (S&CC) payment.
So I guess with the current setup, even the locals should have enough to survive and eat in the month of Apr even if we ended up with totally no pay leave, unless we stay in bigger house, e.g. non HDB or own private properties.
This is the utilities rebates for FY 2020:
Also, we would get $600 this month to help cover our grocery bills, for those entitled to get more would get their balance of $300 - $600 in June and parents would get additional $300, elderly would get extra $100 for passion card topup.
For people with super small utilities bill like me will end up with about 10 mths worth of bills waived ✌ (assuming that working from home = slightly higher bills)
