The Government launched the ASPM under the Anti-epidemic Fund to subsidise owners' organisations (OOs) or PM companies of eligible buildings to provide the Anti-epidemic Hardship Allowance to the front-line PM workers. The ASPM will also provide the Anti-epidemic Cleansing Subsidy to OOs or PM companies. Phase I of the ASPM covers private residential and composite (i.e. commercial cum residential) buildings, whereas Phase II of the ASPM covers industrial and commercial buildings (including shopping malls).
The application deadlines for Phase I and Phase II of the ASPM are May 31 and June 15 respectively. Eligible PM companies and OOs are reminded to submit their applications to the PMSA as soon as practicable. For details on the ASPM, please contact the PMSA at 3696 1156 or 3696 1166, or visit the website of the PMSA.
