Social support not just about handouts, but 'giving people a leg up': DPM Wong
Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Lawrence Wong said Budget measures to uplift Singaporeans have been designed and sized carefully for everyone, regardless of age or income. He said the top 20% of households get only about 30 cents out of every tax dollar they pay, while the lowest 20% receive about $4. Mr Wong said this shows Singapore's tax system is fair and progressive. Sabrina Ng reports.
