What if the child migrate to another country after getting all these benefits at age 17. Does he need to pay back ? 🤔🤔

user8614619241366 :

Not enough! A child cost 500 k these days

bubblegum7110 :

my kids 16 n 18, how u gng help

watzuuuppp :

In today's context, that amount may seem substantial, but the cost of living will continue to rise over the years. In 5 to 10 years, that amount might not be sufficient to cover the costs of raising children. Even if the government increases the payout in the future, the new amount may not apply to children born in previous years, as he mentioned it applies to newborn babies.

TheAwesomeGolden :

Gov only think of those who have kids.. those who want kids but have difficulty in conceiving still need to pay at least 5 figures

Farhana :

hmm doctors appointment,milk,diapers,other needs,childcare within the 1st year money finish

Geylang :

if u discover... many couples who have a few kids are earning good money. but Singaporeans are not earning much. when u don't earn enough and u do not ensure stable employment, forget abt your baby bonus

WP: Stronger financial safety net for workers displaced by retrenchment/technological change, including redundancy insurance.

Charles :

When one is poor and struggling to survive what is the point of having children! Please look into what Singaporeans are really struggling! Jobs uncertainties, high cost of living. It doesn’t benefit those who are poor!
