Indian Giver - If I give you big "hongbao" I worry how you use it

[cheesecake]

The Alternative View: How does the "Pioneer Generation Package" help the "Tissue Generation", comprising essentially the old or disabled folks we see selling tissues around hawker centres or stationed along MRT walkways?

Does it put food on their table?

The main pillars of the Package involves so-called Government contributions to Medisave and increased subsidies for medical treatments. In terms of hard cash, it limits the handout of $100 per month to those with moderate or severe disabilities.

So if you are not bound to a wheelchair, you don't get the handout. In fact, even if you are bound to a wheelchair and can work, the PAP encourages you to work which explains the minimal amount given out.

So is there really anything radical about the Pioneer Generation Package?

In short, no.

Somebody has to guide or teach us how to spend our own hard earn money?
This Smart Alex is definitely a laughing stock.

Specifically for the pioneer generation members - those aged 65 and above this year and who became citizens before 1987 - they will receive more subsidies on outpatient care to help especially with treatment for chronic illnesses, Medisave top-ups and MediShield Life subsidies.

If it is affordable in the first place, why the need for these new measures? TCSS!:oIo:
