1.82 I have decided to extend the Utilities Save
scheme by one year to help households, especially
lower-income ones, cope with their utilities charges.
Households in 1- and 2-room HDB flats will enjoy
rebates for six months over the one year period
from July 2003 to June 2004; those living in 3-room
HDB flats will get four months; those living in
4-room HDB flats will get two months; and those
living in 5-room HDB flats will get one month.
The rebate will be $35 per month. This will cost
$71 million.
