Check the GST website, say you're not eligible?
Aiya.. No money inside.
Then how? You said you got GST, will bring us for treat. So no GST, how?
Don't have, don't have lor. Government never give money then I have no money to give you.
Cannot be what. Really no money?
Singaporeans very rich leh.
Singaporean in the news come out, more than one million got 101,000 is it?
Got alot, this rich people are rich, then the poor people are really poor.
Actually this is a very interesting question you know?
How many people get the GST? Since the three of us went to website and check don't have right?
But I saw in the news, they say they are going to send letters to 2 million adult Singaporeans who will get the GST you know in July?
2 million adult Singaporeans, that is the whole work force that is working.
If everyone is working, everyone should be getting.
Ya, think around 2 million
Then including the PR, got around 2 million
Actually everybody will get lar.
But how come the three of us don't get?
I think we are not like everybody you know?
Everybody get we don't get. We all "suay", what to do?
The 2 million is after three years is it?
No no...because in 2010 they say 2.3 million Singaporean will get the GST.
Then this year, they say 2 million will get.
So how come huh? 2010 2.3 million, then now dropped 300 thousands to 2 million.
By right should be...
The population increased right? How come the number of people get less?
Anyway nevermind, so I received this in the mail.
Very happy you know? For a better Singapore. What Budget 2013 means for you and your family.
So I looked inside, got three type of money to give you, you know?
Got GST cash, GST medisave and GST U-save
But actually, we talk also no use. Because all three also don't get anything.
But I went to read, actually not bad you know?
Because no matter how poor you are, means the poorest one, the poorest poorest one.
You know how much is the maximum you can get or not?
How much?
500 dollars.
The poorer poorest one
So they define this GST voucher to give
First, your annual income cannot be more than 24,000.
So I think the 3 of us don't get because our annual income is more than 24,000.
So any Singaporeans their annual income is more than 24,000 don't get GST.
That time I got one friend, very poor you know?
The husband only work, the wife doesn't work.
Then got two young children so now GST package.
They only get $1000
because maximum 500 dollars per adult
the other two child below the age of 21 that's why they don't get.
So this $1000 where got enough right?
Imagine a very poor family, even if they spend a $1500 a month, $18,000 a year. GST about 7%, about $1,260.
I read one news report, talk so many things you know?
About medisave top up, U-save rebate, very very long story you know?
But the most important thing missing, you want to guess what is the most important thing missing?
We just talked, didn't say how much you get.
In cash.
Because all the things they talk is all the none cash one.
Oh the CPF ah.
Ya, because if I top up your medisave. You can use the medisave to go eat or not?
Cannot right?
Must fall sick then can use medisave or use to pay the medishield premium.
Anyway March the 1st, the medishield premium, the deductibles went up you know?
So give you top up then the medishield premium and deductibles go up.
So how come like this?
