Govt to review 'size, components' of GST support package due to higher than expected inflation: Lawrence Wong
A typical Singaporean diet revolves around hawker culture, with people consuming a variety of food from all three major ethnic groups, said Dr Kalpana Bhaskaran, who heads the Centre of Applied Nutrition Services and the Glycemic Index Research Unit at Temasek Polytechnic.
In light of higher than expected inflation, the Government will review the sizing and components of the Assurance Package.
The package comprises cash payouts to help Singaporeans deal with the impending Goods and Services Tax (GST) hike.
Deputy Prime Minister Lawrence Wong will provide more details at next year's Budget.
On the risk of a recession, Mr Wong said that growth is still expected both this year and next year.
However, the Government has a set of "drawer" plans should global economic forces lead to a higher risk of a recession.
