DPM Heng Swee Keat announced a very thoughtful Resilience Package that spoke to not only businesses and workers, but also anxious fresh graduates seeking jobs for the first time and even charity organisations. A landmark $48 billion package that hopefully will tide us over this ‘storm’, a rainy day that is no drizzle.

Always been proud as a Singaporean; even more so now.
