Lee Hsien Loong says middle income groups not forgotten

"We'll have a comprehensive offset package – more than adequate to care for Singaporeans, to help them adjust to the additional GST. It'll be weighted towards the lower end, so lower income Singaporeans will get more."

"We will also have something for sandwiched classes, the middle income groups. I know many in the middle income group tell us they have missed out on the benefits. They're confident the government will look after for the low income but (some of them say,) what about me? I am not so poor but we need a little help too. Don't worry, we have not forgotten you. We will have something for middle income groups too." - CNA
