PAP give more cash handouts, more dumb sinkies will vote for them. they hold election soon, think WP lose its constituencies seats.
 
Most people won't get maximum amount due to the criteria.


It's not that some people will not get the maximum amount. What is the max amount? $1200? $1600?

It is clear that only self-employed people who earn at most a small employment income will benefit from the $9,000 cash handout.

For the rest, the amount is nowhere near that. That includes employees, as well as people who run businesses, and also self-employed who earn more than $2,300 per month in side employment income.

The amount for the rest of the population is pathetic. The max is $1,200 or $1,600 straight cash depending on your household/income. The rest are in the form of GST offsets, U-save rebates, etc, which also have other qualifying criteria.

Compare this to Canada. Everyone gets $2,000 per month for four months. No qualifying criteria. No differentiation based on income or household.

Even fucked up Malaysia gives $500 to everyone. Over 4 months, that comes out to even more than our fucking pathetic $1,200 or $1,600 cash disbursement.

The majority of the $62 billion is given to businesses as wage offset. That will not prevent some retrenchment or pay cuts from taking place.
