[Heart Break Kid]

Adult Singaporeans get Growth Dividends of between $100 and $700 in two instalments in April and October.

(1) Save it

(2) Spend it on commercial sex (anyway its bonus from garment watt)

[Babbvbo]

Go cheong lah, spend on commercial sex. :D

[ang076]

If got $200 or above, I spent it on shuangfei session with 2 bisexual PRCs...

[fax88]

No need to save,the government will come out something to draw back whatever goodies that go out from their pocket.:mad:

[hotsoup16]

Can't wait for April to come........

Now that everyone knows everyone got more money from the growth dividends, will the PRCs up their asking price for shots?

Maybe for those popular ones. Anyway, competition tough these days. Upping their price too much will lead to lesser business. Dun worry, there are always new stocks coming in.

[<<<SUCHINDA>>>]

This kind of money the less you entitled to the better coz govt give you less means your income very high & stay private :D

[staphan]

But if you stay with parents in outlying condo ... not much dif leh, can be poorer than those who stay in HDB ....

[Insider]

[kiko]

Bros:

what about the one for CPF offsets, when will get ?

[Tailok]

WTF. Sillipore gahmen always takes our money then give back a little bit. Makes a big hoo hah abt it. Then they increase the bus fare, MRT fare, Minister salary... People forget... Why are ppl so forgetful???

[pussyharmonizer]

the money thry give us in the end still go back to them on the increase taxes and prices

[horsepunter]

So meaning
$500 if you stay in 1-3 room flat. === 250 in April?
$400 if you stay in 4-5-executive flat. === 200 April?

Gov never state the amount.
Since 2 installment..should be half each.

[assault]

I thought it is the amount they mention times 2 :eek:

[horsepunter]

GST offset package only for 4 years from 2007 to 2010.

If u stay in 3 room and below and earned up to 24K per year.
You get $250 each year on 1 Jul from 2007 to 2010 ie Total $1000.
If u NSmen exNSmen..can get $100 more but only once.
So total will be $1100.

If u stay in 4-5 exec flat and earn more than 24K and up to 100K per year.
You get $200 each year on 1 Jul from 2007 to 2010 ie Total : $800
If u NSmen exNSmen..can get $100 more but only once.
So total will be $900.

[horsepunter]

I thought it is the amount they mention times 2 :eek:

I doubt so.
The amount mentioned is the total.
You get half in 2 installment.

[marine boy]

You are absolutely right horsepunter. Gahment will mention the bigger amount if it is double to make it look even better. :D

[Naka_Timo]

For those who are going for upgrading studies, government will also subside a certain percentage.

[forgetful]

I always live by the motto.....'money in own pocket better than others pockets' :D

[darke]

I just realised that I will be getting $400 (In 2 installments + $100 NS Bonus) on top of $250 from GST Credits.

More good years ahead!!! :D

[Quilt Cover]

Me got $400 in total. ($300 + $100 NS bonus). Planning to spend it on 5 budget bonk. $60 (PRC) x5 times = $300 and the NS bonus will be for H81 at $20 per time X 5 time. :D

[johntan_68]

I am not going against our country leaders. They have done well for the country Singapore. However, I feel in this forum we have a freedom of speech & thought to bring out "Singapore has an effective Gov't BUT not a good Gov't." :eek:

I do not know if there are more against/ agree? This can be a debate topic among ourselves (brothers/sisters) for this Budget 2008. ;)

[Happy2004]

For those who are going for upgrading studies, government will also subside a certain percentage.

Only 4 tertiary. NUS, NTU, SMU and SIM

[kiko]

Bros:

Why the govt dont subsides courses in other private uni like MDIS, FTC, SAA and PSB. They should encourage by subsides in other privates school, then more adult will upgrade and study hard.

[Heavenly Sword]

Do you think our MPs and Meanisters read sbf?
If so maybe they can reply our question here. :D

Heehee maybe the post 65 generation. As for the old foggies doubt it.

[mr.petain]

how do we check how much we get?
any one knows?

[director66]

how do we check how much we get?
any one knows?

Scroll back and check the thread. There was a link given.

[<<<SUCHINDA>>>]

[LeMoN]

[cinta]

why they drag ? i guess is to make u happy for 'awhile' everytime of the year when they give out the $$$. so that means give out 3 times once every 3 years, u will shiok/happy/song 1 time per year.

if 1 shot give out all, u will forget they make u song/happy/shiok, so they rather give out in small portion for a longer period of time. by then the next elect comes, they will come out with another $$$ giving scheme again ?

So little money can invest what. Bet at Pools is gambling 99.99% lose.
I think just spend it all and forget it exist.

[Crazi]

Agree with you, buy small small is OK lah, either TOTO/4D ... like bro stacy said, treat as force savings, when you can withdraw ... haha donno ... :p

[roll3r]

[Heart Break Kid]

Guess this will be the last payment right??Is there anymore after this one?

Yes ..you are right. Last payment for 2008 let hope budget 2009 we will get more cashback :D

[lightning]

Yes ..you are right. Last payment for 2008 let hope budget 2009 we will get more cashback :D

I think more and more ppl are getting angry with those unnesscary raise in taxing for example more gantries. garment is trying to give more rebates by stucking our mouths with lollipops to appease our anger. By voting against them is one of the most effective way to voice our displeasure. :mad::mad:

voting in the opposition may not be such a bad idea despite the poor calibers of opposition candidates...at least these will send a signal to those scums that the people are fed up with them...so to win back those wards lost to opposition, they will have to throw in more "sweeteners" just to appease the voters..for the ward concern, they will enjoy better services from the opposition and also from the scums....

Lets hope that there are better calibre of candidates coming up to help improving the Sillypore's future. Felt that the garmen is over-exploiting the ppl's hard-earned money. And bear in mind that all those lollipops are produced by the people's pockets...

I think more and more ppl are getting angry with those unnesscary raise in taxing for example more gantries. garment is trying to give more rebates by stucking our mouths with lollipops to appease our anger. By voting against them is one of the most effective way to voice our displeasure. :mad::mad:

If your monthly gross salary is more than $3,000 ..singles above 35 had to apply for bank loan.

I think your monthly gross salary is low ..did you apply for the singles grant of $11,000 ?

You can check it out at HDB website ;)

Nowaday most family nucleus earn more than $8,000 conbined income per month so they go for private housing.
Singles earning more than $3,000 a month if want HDB flats must take bank loans.

In future..we will see more true Singapore Citizen to go private housing while PR buy HDB :D

not true...if household income more than 8K, u can still buy HDB, but only resales. If well above 8K, can comfortably afford pte housing.If just barely above 8K, will be pretty strecthed.

if u have the $, citzen or PR also can go for pte housing...its all about $$..

[Schenker]

Dun be happy too early, 50% more means total u get 300 only:rolleyes::D

If anybody who bother to go do some calculations, no way a toal or gross income( combine or not combine) at S$8000.00 can afford a private housing. The CPF deduction is one thing but the deposit and cash up front need to be at least 200K so that monthly installment is in the affordable range... more over with that kind budget, one can only think of private housings with very small floor area and maybe far away from town..

For those who cannot afford private housing, buy resale flats or HDB EA or masionette is the only solution....

Our gahment is smart... smart in squeezing money only...:(

Buying HDB resales flat lease will be definitely less than 99 years ..if you buy a HDB unit for more than 30 years old,
chances is nobody is going to buy your flat later.

If no choice ..have to take bank loan must well buy a private unit of course provided your basic salary is high
plus you have strong CPF ordinary account balances :D

Given the current situation in sgp, No way can a family income of $8000 above afford a private housing... and yet they cannot buy from hdb.
How did the g'ment come up with such drastic policy???
Sgp flats are way over priced and sg people have no job security in future.
Better migrate to other countries where living standard is more affordable...
People in sgp don't need to live in a first class first world country with high healthcare/housing/transport/ERPs and other things.
sgp people just need affordable life styles like our neighbours.

True...

The resale flat age also plays a part if you wan to sell them.

The pity fact is that as citizens, we should be given entitlement to affordable flat/homes.. Why should there be such a rediculous cap on income as to who can or cannot qualify to apply for a flat?? Moreover, the income cap at SGD8000.00 is too low... At the current standard of living, SGD 8000.00 for a couple with 1 kid is just enough to make ends meet honestly... Not to mention rising cost of medical care, transport, food etc etc...

Haiz... SGD8000.00 only nia... The gahment think its bigger than the bull cart wheel...:confused:



The gahment pledge to provide affordable shelter to citizens but the fine prints bear more significance and impact to their pledge...

Thats why my virgin vote goes to the opp party...

Some poor families living in Hougang area - their total household income is about $1,000 excluding Workfare Bonus.

So it is logical that gahment think $8,000 is bigger than the bull cart wheel :D

For mi ..must take bank loan with market interest rate plus no grant :mad:

Buying smaller unit of private apartment is still better for mi than HDB :(

[horsepunter]

U are entitled to $300.
Another $100 more for NS.
50% more of $150 is $75.
So total you should have $475.

Since you already got $200 first instalment,
You get the balance $275 this time round.
