Why the Government Is Giving More Support
During the Budget 2026 speech, PM Wong said the government will continue strengthening social support across:
- Education
- Housing
- Healthcare
- Retirement support
- Support for seniors and caregivers
The latest package comes as households continue facing higher living costs from inflation and global economic uncertainty.
