Another support programme from the CDCs.

With our partner, the Kong Meng San Temple, we have extended and enhanced an earlier Covid-19 relief fund to help Singaporeans in need.

“A Covid-19 relief fund for Singaporeans whose livelihoods have been affected by the pandemic has been extended to help more people cope with the rising costs of living and inflation.

Applications for the Kong Meng San - Community Development Council (CDC) Covid-19 Relief Fund, which was started in December 2020, have been extended till March 31, 2023. The application period had previously expired in December 2021.

With the extension of the fund, each eligible household will get $800, up from the original $500.

The fund's extension was announced on Monday (May 30) in a joint statement by the five CDCs here and the Buddhist temple, Kong Meng San Phor Kark See Monastery.”
