Built sector highlights other rising costs even as job support extended

Singapore

CONSTRUCTION firms welcomed the extension to the Jobs Support Scheme (JSS), although not all are sure that it will be sufficient to get them back on their feet in seven months' time.

Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Heng Swee Keat on Monday announced 50 per cent wage support for two more months, before lowering it to 30 per cent for five more months for wages paid up to March 2021.
