PM Lawrence Wong with MP Mr. SMS Zaqy Mohamad at the launch of Marsiling-Yew Tee GRC's MY $1 Deals at 888 Plaza on Jan 18.Over 10,000 households in Marsiling-Yew Tee GRC will be able to buy cooking oil, eggs or rice for $1 under a new initiative to help residents cope with the rising cost of living.
At the launch of the grocery exchange on Jan 18, Prime Minister Lawrence Wong said the cost of living has gone up, with prices rising in the last two years. “But in Singapore, we are doing everything we can to help residents cope with these higher prices.” He added that the Government will continue to provide help for Singaporeans with the Budget in February.
Bukit Panjang launched the Bukit Panjang Dollar Deal in 2024, which allowed residents there to buy set meals, vegetable packs or eggs each month for $1 for a whole year. “There are many things that the Government is rolling out today, and I think it’s useful for residents if we complement this along with other schemes.”Ms Esther Tay, 48, who works in sales, said: “Recently the price of everything has been going up quite a bit. While this initiative is quite generous, we hope that the Government can do more to help Singaporeans by maybe controlling the prices of basic items and goods.
