The Big Story: Only 10% of SG Culture Pass credits used. Is the $300m scheme working?

A year after Singaporeans were given $100 in SG Culture Pass credits, just $30.4 million of the $300 million set aside for the scheme has been spent. Only 14 per cent of eligible Singaporeans have used some or all of their credits, with seniors making up just 19 per cent of spending.

On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong speaks with Dr Shahril Salleh, Founder and Artistic Director of Vox Camerata Limited, and Honorary Lecturer at the University of Queensland, to find out more.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
