TRADE and Industry Minister Chan Chun Sing on Wednesday repeated the government's call to landlords of commercial buildings, and banks to pass on the Budget 2020 support and reliefs to tenants and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
Speaking at a dialogue hosted by the American Chamber of Commerce in Singapore, he said "we are all in this together" (in the fight against the coronavirus outbreak) - and it's vital that we exercise the "communitarian spirit" to help one another to beat Covid-19 fast.
