Some consumers worry about feeling pinch despite staggered GST hike, payouts to cushion impact

[radioshack]

Ms Angela Kho, 43, an assistant manager working in the eldercare sector, said the GST hike being spread out in two stages will help pace the effect on consumers.

The GST Voucher U-Save rebates will also come in handy, said Ms Kho, who is living in a four-room HDB flat with her husband and three of her four children. “With five of us, we sleep in separate rooms and use the air-conditioner at night... Water usage is also higher... and sometimes, my eldest daughter and her two daughters stay over, contributing to our costs,” she said.
