The Singapore Chinese Chamber of Commerce and Industry (SCCCI) President, Thomas Chua, said he was happy with the government's efforts to help the small-medium-enterprises (SMEs).

"We are glad that the government has heard Chamber's and business feedback on the concerns and challenges in this year's budget through the short-term measures to help SMEs."

"In particular, we are glad that the government recognizes the key role that trade associations and chambers can play to help SMEs and industries to upgrade and transform. We strongly urge the trade associations, particularly those from the traditional sectors, to be proactive to explore tapping into this program."
