In this storm, a steady hand matters more than ever. We are not the biggest country. But we are respected, because we stay calm. We stay honest. We stay capable. We stay united.
Minister’s Message
A global trade war will hurt all of us. Exports will slow, demand will fall and investments will shrink.
Companies will suffer, jobs will be lost. Not just that, families will worry. Parents and children will be affected.
We have seen this before. In the 1930s, trade wars helped cause a Great Depression. Factories shut down and millions lost their jobs.
We don’t know if it will get that bad this time but the risks are real. The warning signs are here. So we must stay sharp, stay prepared, stay united.
This is not just an economic fight. It’s a test of our strength.
A test of how we come together as one people.
We cannot control what happens in Washington or Beijing. But we can control how we respond. We must respond with clear minds. With steady hands. With unity and discipline. We’ve done it before.
During Covid-19, we stood firm. We helped one another. We adapted fast. And we came through stronger. Now, we must do it again.
This Government has always put Singapore first. We act on facts, not emotions, we move early, not late. We focus on what matters. We protect jobs. We protect families. We protect your future. In Nee Soon, what we promise, we deliver.
This manifesto shows what we have built—roads, parks, multi-purpose hubs, sport facilities, schools, and services.
And with your support, we will do more.
In this storm, a steady hand matters more than ever. We are not the biggest country. But we are respected, because we stay calm. We stay honest. We stay capable. We stay united. That is why investors trust us.
That is what protects our future. Let us not lose that. Let us hold on to what matters—our stability, our harmony, our unity.
A society where race, language or religion does not divide us.
A system where every Singaporean can rise through ability and hard work.
The road ahead will not be easy. Times may be tough. But let us move forward—not in fear, but with focus.
Not divided, but together.
Not reactive, but ready.
Together, let us protect Singapore.
My Nee Soon residents,
The world situation has changed fast.
We have a global trade war started by the US.
The US has imposed tariffs on many countries. Singapore was hit with 10%. Now, the US has paused the tariffs until 8 July 2025. There is a lot of uncertainty. Global growth is likely to slow. No one knows what will happen on 8 July 2025. When the pause ends, will tariffs be reimposed?
Prime Minister Lawrence Wong has said it clearly: More shocks are coming. We must brace ourselves.
Exports may slow, demand may fall. Investments will be affected. Companies may face tough times. Jobs may be at risk. We cannot control what happens in Washington or Beijing, or anywhere else in the world.
But we can control how we respond. We have gone through many crises. With steadiness. With unity and discipline. We’ve done it before. We can do it again.
We will roll out plans to deal with the economic situation. We are not the biggest country. But we are respected, because we stay calm. We stay honest. We stay capable. We stay united. That is why investors trust us.
That is what protects our future. Let us hold on to what matters—our good governance, our political stability, our harmony, our unity. A society where race, language or religion does not divide us.

And with your support, we will do more.

The Future of Nee Soon
Nee Soon is more than a Town—it is a Home built on strong community spirit. In the next five years, we will make Nee Soon more connected, vibrant, and inclusive.
For families, we will increase childcare facilities.
For seniors, we will expand eldercare services and build more barrier-free spaces.
And for families in need, we will assist as we have done in the last five years.
Nee Soon now has many modern amenities.
It is the healthcare hub of the North: Two hospitals, two
polyclinics, and multiple active ageing centres.
Iconic projects continue to shape our town, ensuring a
better quality of life for all.
When completed, the Integrated Hub, Chong Pang City, will house a new Community Club, Sports Facilities, Hawker Centre, Market, Retail Shops and Enrichment Outlets.
We have more plans.
There will be improved access to key transport nodes, including the North-South Corridor.
There will be more sheltered linkways.
We will refresh homes and public spaces.
With your support, we can turn these plans into reality. We can build a better
Nee Soon—together.
Rising Costs
Over the past five years, the Government has introduced 12 Budgets to protect jobs, stabilise the economy, and support families in managing rising costs.
During the Covid-19 pandemic, we drew on $52 billion from past reserves to help Singaporeans through the crisis. Inflation and global challenges have driven up prices. The Government has responded with new support.
Rising costs affect each of us differently. Budget 2025 has been designed to provide direct, targeted help for everyone—from young couples and families with school-going children to seniors managing their daily expenses.
For families, support is given for daily living costs. A family in a 3-room flat can expect around $3,700 in assistance, while those in a 4-room flat will receive about $2,900. Parents will also benefit from lower preschool fees and extra support for their children’s education. Working adults will receive SG60 credits and tax rebates, while seniors will get additional assistance with healthcare and living costs.
The GST increase was necessary to fund essential services like healthcare and education in the coming years. However, the Government has ensured that most Singaporeans will receive more in Government support than they pay in GST. For lower- and middle-income families, the Assurance Package in Budget 2025 will offset the GST increase for the next 10 years. Thanks to cash payouts, U-Save rebates, and CDC vouchers, many families will more than recover the extra GST they pay.
Real support is given for everyday expenses while laying the foundation for a stronger, more secure future.
Government gives out financial support to families. In addition, at Nee Soon, through the various programmes, we raise funds to help our residents.
Nee Soon Cares
Nee Soon Cares has helped over 13,000 households in Nee Soon and we work with our Nee Soon merchants to provide this support.
KidsCare

Nee Soon Cares $1 – Each Dollar, Every Heart
Residents can redeem essential household items worth $20 with just a $1 pre-purchased ticket. Over 13,500 households have benefitted from this programme.
Food Rescue
The Food Rescue programme channels surplus food to residents in need.
Community Fridges
Set up at HDB void decks, these fridges are stocked weekly with donated fresh produce and essentials. They provide accessible, round-the-clock support while reducing food wastage.
Project 50=100
This provides support for middle-income families who miss out on conventional aid. Project 50=100 project allows beneficiaries to purchase $100 worth of groceries for just $50 at pop-up supermarkets. Residents can also volunteer, helping to run these pop-ups and spread the word.
Food from the Heart’s Community Shop in Chong Pang
This shop provides beneficiaries with 12 free non-perishable items and two fresh produce items each month.
These programmes provide a strong support network through mobilising our community.
SkillsFuture Initiatives
Budget 2025 introduced the Matched MediSave Scheme (MMSS). The Government will match voluntary cash top-ups to seniors’ MediSave accounts.
Mid-Career and Young Job Seekers Support
Through SkillsFuture and industry partnerships, training, internships, career coaching, and mentorship programmes are offered to residents with relevant skills and job opportunities.

Major Projects
