The above are parts of the support for younger seniors in the 2024 Budget. There are also supports given to the older seniors in the Merdeka and Pioneer Generations. The big question is whether these supports are sufficient are should be called 'support'?
How much is the govt taxing the seniors, many already having no income, many with their savings dried up, many have their CPF savings emptied, and whether the supports given even measure up to the numerous tax and fee hikes the seniors would have to pay for. Every time there is a tax or fee hike, it is as good as robbing the poor seniors, with many with nothing left to be robbed. No money means no money!
The govt is very proud of the supports being given to the seniors, younger or older. If the supports are in excess of what the govt is taking from the seniors, the seniors should be grateful for the little kindness. If the supports are less than what the govt is taking back, how can it be called support?
The poor seniors, many already drawing blanks from their savings, really need assistance, except those seniors that were used to earn millions and millionaires. Instead of giving them assistance, financial assistance other than medical programmes, it would be merciful to stop adding more taxes and fare/fee hikes on them.
In simple terms, the support or help must be more than what the govt is taking back from the seniors, especially the many seniors that have no more income. They cannot shoulder the burden of ever increasing taxes and fees or fare hikes.
Have mercy on the seniors while you enjoy your million dollar pay. The poor seniors are living in a dire world of their own, in silence. Stop robbing the seniors!

Good morning All
All these are Elections Votes Buying Sweeteners.
Some where after August ND another round of more with the Sept Cash and GST Vouchers and them NS Special Payments.
So right time to hold one as many Evil Serpents already clad for training.
Also " Han Cheng" going to get worse and also now the UAssA is fueling unrests round the world especially now Indo Pacific Region and good time to strike fears into the Sinkies.
You better vote PAP.
No changing of Guards and also changing horses in Mid Stream.
Sinkies are very easily brought over by all these sweeteners and fears.
Aiyo who give you these types of monies and benefits ha?
Even my children don't give me so much m

But they never think even though they may be wealthy, if the Rest are NOT, you think you can also live in peace and safety ah?
Be mugged and killed on the streets just like the Americunts and some places in Matland.
So Sinkies better wake up and made sure that your fellowmen and women are also 👌 ok.
Oops forget CDC vouchers.

Yes agree with virgo49 that this is an election year goodies..more to come. The sad part is many sillyporean will knee down & kowtow to papies & sing their praise. Instead of solving the fundamental cost of living/citizen employment issues, the miw like to create all sort of wayang just to justified their own relevant. Just hoping more sillyporean will finally wake up and vote for a new gov.
Younger workers are earning much more than their parents or grandparents and can afford the escalating cost of living. The elderlies, who are those parents and grandparents are not able to cope with the rising cost of living.
We have seen the complaints on social media regarding food prices and shrinking potions. To the rich those complaints are irrelevant and just noises that they would despise hearing about. Yes, just noises that they claim should never be hearing or discussing. Don't eat out if you cannot afford is their advice. How arrogant! What about people working outside of their homes? They are still forced to eat outside, right?
I dread the day the shit hits the fan.
What we failed to realize is that oldies who do not work are still basically paying taxes in the form of GST. In the past, with GST, oldies do not pay any taxes after retiring from work as they have no income to be taxed. Only the very rich with investments do pay taxes on other income stream.
In fact, GST is a tax from the cradle to the grave and even after you are dead. The Government may tell us our tax rate is very low, but a 9% tax on consumption is not to be sniffed at and is all built into the cost of eating out or cooking at home. A person spending S$2,000 a month in reality is paying S$180 in taxes per month indirectly.
GST is a wicked scheme against the seniors, retirees and people with no income.
The ass government pretends to be deaf and blind and not doing anything about it.
