With the Covid-19 pandemic escalating in Singapore and around the world, our industry has been hard hit by the cancellation and postponement of projects and productions in the past and coming months.
SAMPP recognises the financial pressures that our community is going through at the moment, and we’ve collated information on the available resources that media companies and practitioners can tap on:
RESOURCES
- Lifting Singapore’s Circuit Breaker’ (Phase 2): COVID-19 Workplace Safety Protocols / Guidelines
- Singapore Budget 2020 & Support Measures
- IMDA Initiatives
- SAMPP COVID-19 Relief Fund
- COVID-19 ‘Circuit Breaker’: Closure of workplace premises
- Information on Quarantine Order Allowance Scheme & Leave of Absence/Stay Home Notice Support Programme
We’ve also prepared the following:
One-time cash grant for current active members
All current active SAMPP members who registered before 1 April 2020 will receive a one time cash grant equivalent of their last paid membership amount. ($100 for Ordinary Member, $85 for Associate Member, $30 for Student Member)
Eg. Harris is an active student member. He’ll receive a one time cash grant of $30. Tom, an active associate member will receive $85 and Ruixin, an active ordinary member, will receive $100.
Payment will be made via PayNow. Please fill in your PayNow details via this link: https://forms.gle/qRE9pCx2k51NnhbSA
Should you wish to contribute your cash grant to the SAMPP COVID-19 Relief Fund above, you can indicate it in the same form.
