New Baby Bonus Scheme

[Alaska]

yes, this rules applied when it started in 2001.

After 6 yrs of matching here and there, only misearble $12000. By then 12 years later, may be the value can only buy kacang puteh.

if by then they can't study for tertiary education, what will the $$ go??

isn't it this is another cunning scheme set by the elite scholars? similar as CPF scheme. Make my $6000 stuck for 18 yrs collecting miserable $3 every mth. Why can't I do my own investment?

But 1 thing I'm disappointed abt the new scheme is that there wasn't any help for SAHM. It's like as if we are the "forgotten" beings who choose to sacrifice their career, not helping the economy, hence, no helping hand from the govt  . I belived a lot of SAHM choose to give up their career is because to give the best to their kids, they need to be there instead of leaving them under the care of grandparents or maid and only seeing them after work. Not every woman is that lucky to work for bosses who emphatise working mother's position and in fact, with the new scheme, it still depends on the bosses whether how the leave is being planned.

yea true... and if we pregnant, no special attention for the fees, i mean like the monthly checks, scans, test are not f.o.c. we hav to come out money den aft baby is born, den we get $$ fr govt... wat comes in, goes out...
