applause to prime minister LEE..
watched PM LEE's rally speech yesterday..
its not that boring as i thought..
and when he said :
"50 per cent increase in the remaining instalment of Growth Dividends..."(more money)
"Paid maternity leave will be extended from 12 weeks to 16 weeks, and the extra four weeks can be taken anytime during the baby’s first year."(wow..sounds gd to me)
"There will also be a larger baby bonus for first—time parents,.." (YEAH!!)
"On top of that, Mr Lee said parenting is not just the mother’s responsibility.
Emphasising that parenting is a job for both parents has influenced some policy changes which he hopes will help to shift attitudes. Childcare leave, which can be claimed by either parent, will be extended from two to six days per year."
(luckily baby watched with me)
"There will also be one week of unpaid infant—care leave per year, and mums or dads can claim it until their child turns two years old"(clap clap)
but he said something about increasing the rate of the ERP made me feel kinda uncomfortable..as you can see, we have already more than enough ERP gantries around the whole of clean and green..and i think that
more are still on the way..
imagine that each gantry charge 2 bucks and if you need to pass by 5/6 gantries a day to and fro..how much will it cost for a whole month??
the reason why they keep increasing the amount and the charges are bcoz they want those middle income households to own a car..hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm~
PM LEE did the math and showed us that we will benefit from it though..
IMO..i think that PM LEE calculated the graph from the ERP gantries we have currently..but future?? there will be more and charges will be much higher..by then..it might be equal or we might even have to fork out more..sigh
anyways..we still have to face it somehow..
just hope that clean and green will prosper..
and most importantly
more money come come..
