Prime Minister Lawrence Wong has dished out a number of vouchers for Singaporeans this year.
Singaporean households will receive $800 in CDC vouchers. This will be given out in two tranches: $500 in May and $300 in January 2026.
On top of that, families living in HDB flats will receive an additional $100 in Climate Vouchers, on top of the $300 given out last year.
The vouchers are part of the Climate Friendly Households Programme, which was expanded to all HDB flats last year. They can be used to buy 10 types of energy- and water-efficient household products.
Those living in private estates will receive $400 in Climate Vouchers.
