A netizen created a furore online when he asked why foreigners are eligible for Singapore's Baby Bonus.
The netizen posted a Baby Bonus claim form online, adding a red circle to highlight a clause that says: "If you are a foreigner...., MCYS will send you an authorisation letter to open the CDA (Child Development Account) at any OCBC Bank...."
Many netizens are outraged that foreigners are eligible for Baby Bonuses that they believe should be meant for Singaporeans.
Some suggest that the Singapore government could be desperate, that's why they are even giving foreigners money to have babies here.
The Ministry of Community Development, Youth and Sports clarify that this clause for foreigners applies to those who have children of Singaporean nationality. These children are therefore eligible for a Child Development Account.

Hello

Believe the Foreigner is meant to be a trustee or guardian whereby the local child
may lost both parents or the baby is entrust to their care, like grandparents who may not reside or be a citizen here lah.

Slap head !

If I am ah neh, give birth in sinkie land, get sinkie nationality for my kid and baby bonus. Same time I register my kid as ah neh nationality back in my village under another name. By the time finish Poly or JC or even O level, sneak back to ah neh land and take up the ah neh identity. Fleece us of so many subsidies, sell the knn HDB and run road to ah neh land. And the best part is, there is no way we can track or catch the fucker!
And who suffer for paying more tax, work longer hours with lower pay and higher HDB price? KNN stupid gahmen!
