ONLY: "Lower Income households to get GST vouchers worth up to S$850 each year from 2024." [Ref: CNA News] We ought to know that for every $125 we spent, we pay the Govt $10 for this 8%GST Tax in this year. Next year will be even more. Even the Jobless, weak and elderly will have to pay the GST Tax. Assuming minimum $1,350 spent for them in a month excluding other medical expenses, in a year, Aren't they paying $1,296 in GST tax alone?. Have to cough out for it. Time to Help Ourselves in 2025.

1.Company changes direction and only top management knows, the executives only play catchup when the boss pressure you or compare you with another colleagues. 2.Going for courses is only applicable if its related or applicable to your scope of work.If not it won't be approved by RO and boss even recommended by HR. So career change is mostly in the expense of personal time off and weekends.
