        Exactly!!

        In fact, many of my friends feedback that the G anyhow gives out ang baos.

        I would think such ang baos should be given to those really in need. Those staying in 5room flat and above may not find $200 as useful as those staying in 2rm rental flat.

        Give us chicken wings later recoup from the higher property tax and income tax. Not to mention the 1% increase in GST in a few days’ time!
        leeyl , property tax did increased in Yr 2023 ! 😞
        G find ways to take back $

          Same here - we've finished ours already, and I didn't even spend a lot to try to get those return vouchers. I also like the way that half of them are specifically for the neighbourhood shops and hawkers.

            I just hope they don’t increase property and income taxes anymore or capped the reliefs.

              There was an unexpected extra in quantum collected from the property tax (due to annual values of higher-end properties going up in quantum, in tandem with the market), so i wonder where that extra money will be put to use?

                Guessing key areas such as medical/health related or expansion of infrastructure, more baby bonus incentives, cost of living subsidies ...

                    So many numbers floating around! But it sounds like a lot of giveaways.

                      On 3 Jan 2024, we received $500 cdc vouchers.

                      Come end Jun 2024, we will receive $300 cdc vouchers.
                      Hence, we will get a total of $800 cdc vouchers per household 🙂
