On Thursday's special Budget episode (March 26), we look at the Resilience Budget, a Supplementary Budget aimed at helping Singapore and Singaporeans cope with the impact of the coronavirus pandemic.

In Parliament today, Deputy Prime Minister Heng Swee Keat announced measures worth over $48 billion as part of a larger $55 billion package, amounting to 11 per cent of the nation's GDP.
