Dr Tan said the&nbsp, particle of the monthly payments is higher at the start to give “greater peace of mind” soon after employment.

” It will be gradually decreased from the second quarter on in order to keep the tempo and to keep the motivation for applicants to begin working sooner if they find a good-fitting work.”

” I want to emphasise that the total payment of up to S$ 6, 000 should not be viewed in isolation… The quantum is designed to give you more peace during your job search efforts because the system itself is not a interpersonal support scheme, he continued. &nbsp,
