Gov't to roll out support scheme for retrenched workers late 2024

The government is finalising the details of the scheme.

The Ministry of Manpower (MOM) will unveil a new support scheme for involuntarily unemployed job seekers in late 2024.

“The pace of change in the economy is accelerating, and we know that more workers will likely be thrown curveballs,” said Minister for Manpower Tan See Leng in his May Day speech.

“We have heard and heeded the call to further support our workers who find themselves displaced through no fault of their own,” Tan said.

In the Budget speech, Deputy Prime Minister Lawrence Wong stated that the government is finalising the details of a financial support scheme to aid retrenched workers as they seek new employment or undergo training.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
