        5 out of 6 in the other small Coast Guard plan are unaccounted for
        how come this small Coast guard plane can collide with the bigger A350 plane (inside got 367 passengers + 12 crew) ?
        Is it because
        the strong wind blow the smaller plane, towards the bigger plane ?

          All Singaporean households can claim their S$500 Community Development Council (CDC) vouchers from Jan. 3, 2024 onwards.

          This is the link go.gov.sg/cdcv.

          DO NOT CLICK
          ....................

          A text was received- “Good news — you’re getting your GST benefits! Bad news : You just got scammed!

          Scammers are now taking advantage of news about the release of GST vouchers to target vulnerable individuals.

          Here’s how this scam works: Victims would receive official-looking messages on WhatsApp or Facebook requesting them to download and integrate *“the latest GST voucher mobile app” with their bank accounts.* The victims would then be directed to a webpage disguised like the app store asking you to download an app file labelled as a *GST voucher app* to “help” victims redeem their vouchers. The file is actually malware allowing the scammers to access and take control of the victim’s device remotely, making it easier for them to steal passwords and sensitive information.

          Remember: You do not need to download any mobile app to receive your GST benefits. These are automatically given to those eligible!
          To clarify - are you saying that the link (highlighted in red by me) is not correct and shouldn't be clicked? Because it seems to be the correct link from last year. Your post can be read to mean that people should not click that link. Is that what you mean?

            The link is not even clickable. If you force it and entered it into the browser, it just says \"not found\" or something. And I just searched but there is nothing on the 2024 CDC vouchers scheme. Hmm...

              Announced in the press, but not released yet. The CDC websites haven't caught up, it seems...

                    From January to June 2024, the supermarket chain will absorb the 1 percentage point GST increase on 700 essential products across key categories such as fresh produce, personal care and household essentials.

                    DFI Retail Group, which manages Giant, announced the move on Dec 26 and said it is to help Singaporeans mitigate the effects of inflation and the rising cost of living.

                    The 700 discounted products were selected based on customer feedback and data to ensure maximum value for Giant customers, DFI Retail Group said.


                    Giant will also offer a 4 per cent storewide discount every Tuesday for senior citizens, to further alleviate the rising cost of living. This discount would apply throughout 2024.

                    [quote]FairPrice Group will absorb the 1 percentage point increase in the Goods and Services Tax (GST) on 500 essential items for the first six months of 2024.

                    The basket of 500 essential items includes household essentials that are most in need and purchased by customers frequently
                    , said FairPrice Group on Monday (Nov 27).

                    They comprise groceries such as fresh fruits, vegetables and meat, staples, dairy, paper products, detergents and household cleaners.

                    The initiative will apply across all FairPrice supermarket outlets and online.[/quote]https://www.channelnewsasia.com/singapore/sheng-siong-storewide-discount-3991596
                    [quote]Supermarket chain Sheng Siong will roll out a three-month counter-inflation discount in 2024 on most of its items to offset the additional increase in Goods and Services Tax (GST).

                    A 1 per cent discount will be applied to in-store purchases from January to March 2024
                    to help consumers alleviate the effects of rising prices, Sheng Siong announced on Friday (Dec 15).

                    However, some items are excluded from the discount.

                    They include infant formula (Stages 1 & 2), tobacco, alcohol, medicinal products and the disposable carrier bag charge.
