PRESIDENT Halimah Yacob has given the go-ahead to fund more than S$2 billion in additional support to cushion the impact of Covid-19 on Singaporeans and businesses.
She gave her assent to the FY2021 Supplementary Supply Bill on Thursday, a move which formally authorises and provides for the support measures announced by the government in July.
