SINGAPORE: Representatives from the food and beverage (F&B) industry on Friday (Jul 23) called on the Government to provide more help, saying businesses have been hard hit by closures due to COVID-19 restrictions.

In a letter of appeal addressed to Finance Minister Lawrence Wong and Trade and Industry Minister Gan Kim Yong, members of the local F&B scene noted that the Government had announced S$1.1 billion support package earlier in the day.

No, the govt has to be very careful with spending. Only people who do not have enough to eat should get support. Business close already will be replaced by others who can make it.

Let them failed. If cannot survive likely they need to relook into their Business Model.

Agreed, the law of the jungle. The strong survive the weak die, that's how a strong biz DNA will carry on, not carry forward the weak along to slow or stop progress
