CPF going into bankruptcy at this rate of disbursement!

 

[zhihau]

What about the $100 utility rebate per Sinkie household?

 

[kelvin]

I only did not apply for temporary relief fund $500 as I am not wkg, hence not eligible.
Today, rcv $1,500. Can make my false teeth to eat more.
And get a new pair of specs.

In addition, I am getting $550 COMCARE funds as A poor Retiree living/sharing in a one room rented HDB in MadPerson.

or was it spelled MacPherson.

So, I am contented.

BEGGERS CANT BE CHOOSY.

Now, back to roaming Raffles Place selling
tissue papers.

Dont worry.
I already got my lump sum and now a RA monthly payment too on every 4th of the month.

Only unconditional cash payments are relevant. All your vouchers and rebates are useless.

I got $50 CDC Vouchers, so can eat $50 worth of meals without forking out cash.

Can use them to buy cigarettes?

Can use them to buy cigarettes?

I do not smoke, so no idea.
But it pays for my prata, wonton mee,
kway chap, soya bean drinks, coffee,
etc.

Bro, your threads always mention cigs and smoking.
Trust me. Give it up otherwise a lot of suffering.
I was hospitalised due to one choked lung.
The nurses had to feed me through a tube inserted in my throat.

Die Ok, but dont suffer until such pain and misery

You are wrong...it is $23,225 as confirmed by a PAP MP.

U are only entitled to some payouts IF u meet the relevant conditions.

$15,600 doesn't get anyone very far in this day and age. It can't even buy me a new bicycle.

It is under Additional GST Voucher-U save rebates

True, but with U-save rebates, I can switch my air con on for a whole year without worrying about the bill - and probably still have some left over.

Pinarello Dogma a bit stiff hearsay
Team Ineos loves it anyway
Would prefer Cannondale SuperSix Evo or S-Works Venge

U are only entitled to some payouts IF u meet the relevant conditions.

To qualify for SIRS, you must be registered as an SEP with CPF Board/IRAS making an income of under $100,000, and if you earn any side employment income like working part time as a adjunct MOE relief teacher, your gross monthly employment salary must not exceed $2,300.

To qualify for WSP, you must have received workfare payments in 2019, for work performed in 2019. The amount does not matter. Even if you received a mere $100 workfare in 2019 and nothing in 2020, you still get the full $3,000 WSP.

To qualify for the full U-save rebate of $1000, your registered address with CPF Board must be a 2-room or below HDB flat.

Come on, surely there are chaps here who can get the full $15,600.

I would love disc brakes. Anyone who has done emergency braking in the wet on a bike with calipers will have experienced what it's like for nothing to happen for a couple of seconds before they start to work. Disk brakes bite regardless of the conditions.

However a disc brake frame will make my whole collection of wheels obsolete including my $6000 lightweights.
