About the SCAL COVID-19 Fund

The Singapore Contractors Association (SCAL) has launched the SCAL COVID-19 Fund to help the construction sector tide through COVID-19. The Fund aims to provide eligible companies with relief to ease their financial difficulties, particularly during this Circuit Breaker period where companies continue to incur operation costs, and expenses associated with taking care of their foreign employees placed under Stay-Home Notice (SHN).

SCAL is setting a target to raise more than $1 million through contributions from members, the Building and Construction Authority, and by working with Enterprise Singapore to tap on the SG Together Enhancing Enterprise Resilience (STEER) programme.
