"MOF strictly prohibits third parties from using MOF's official telephone numbers," said the ministry

In addition, MOF said its officers are not authorised to collect payments from the public for any purpose.

For any inquiries about the STR or SARA assistance programmes, the public may contact the MOF helpline at 03-8882 4565/4566.
