Eligible Singaporeans have, in January this year, received the first payment of the $500 to $1,700 CPF Top-up announced by the Prime Minister in August last year. The second payment, costing $1 billion, will be given within 12 months. The CPF Top-up is a tangible way of sharing the nationüs success with Singaporeans. It was also unique in that it was the first time that a CPF Top-up was structured to give more to those in the lower income groups.
