PERSONAL bankruptcy applications in Singapore have fallen to the lowest since October 2016 with temporary legal provisions having kicked in last month, and as non-urgent proceedings take a hiatus amid tightened lockdown measures.
The number of individuals applying for bankruptcy was 160 in April, a 65 per cent dip from the 462 cases in March - the highest monthly figure this year thus far.
