[COVID-19 Budget] Sectors that involve high level of human interaction 1. Enhanced Jobs Support Scheme for F&B firms, providing a total of 50 per cent wage offset for the first $4,600 of monthly wages. 2. Taxi and private-hire car (PHC) drivers have seen their takings fall significantly, so the Government will extend and enhance the Point-to-Point Support Package. This will cost the Government another $95 million. DPM Heng says eligible taxi hirers and PHC drivers will continue to receive the Special Relief Fund payments of $300 per vehicle per month until end-September. 3. To help private bus owners, he will provide them with a one-year road tax rebate and a six-month waiver of parking charges at government-managed parking facilities. This will cost the Government $23 million.
