Daily Cuts - Fall in lower-income households receiving ComCare financial aid over last few years: MSF
Fewer households received ComCare financial assistance from the government in 2023 compared with the previous year, the Ministry of Social and Family Development (MSF) said in a report released on Tuesday (Nov 19). Hairianto Diman and Susan Ng speak to Firdaus D’Cruz, chief executive of Pertapis, to find out more from a welfare home about the financial challenges these lower-income households face, and the extent of support these financial aids offers to these beneficiaries.
