INSTEAD of waiting till February to unveil help measures for businesses and workers, the Government will be announcing some within the week.

Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said on Sunday the Government will announce 'this week' a loan scheme for businesses, and new training programme for workers.

In addition, there will be additional measures in the annual Budget statement, which is normally in February but will be brought forward to January.
