Which I wonder why??? If you have 5 male members in the family. The total amount comes out to be $1000 per household for NS credit. If it is govt CDC voucher, your household gets only $300 and shared among the 5 male members. As for single male staying alone, CDC voucher is preferred over NS credit because the latter amount tend to be quite small and the former tend to be distributed quite regularly too.

QinWei Posted October 31 Author Report Share Posted October 31 (edited) i believe many males rather not do NS now the younger gen with much higher NS pay deemed that NS is such a tortorous and time-wasting process of 2 yr my time is 2.5yrs, my dad is long gone even @ my time, we are still consider a balanced family size by my Parent of 1-2 boys in each family (the remaining are gals) we dont have 5 males and even there are, all are married off with their own household!! now Strawberrry gen, be it Alpha gen or Gen Z or the likes, i dont think the "5" , or even "3" is a good example to begin with my siblings and friends are majority with just 1-0 kid only 5 hours ago, Sweetie Pie said: If you have 5 male members in the family.

Am not sure why others prefer NS credits but for me, CDC vouchers can only be used at certain merchant whereas NS credits can be used with any merchant that accepts NETS/PAYNOW QR Payment. Best is covert to cash and used anywhere. There are a few methods to convert to cash. The last NS Credit, I convert to cash with the full amount without paying any comission :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So many steps just to get the $200. Last time I go SS ATM, withdrawal $190 and the remaining sum I buy grocery on the spot. No need to download this and that just to save the 20cts commission. I have not received my 200 yet, always very slow in my case. Don't know why, may be the word "Sweetie" is taboo in army and so they put me last in their payroll. 🤐 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HendryTan Posted November 7 Report Share Posted November 7 NTUC / ShengSiong / Cold Storage / Guardian and merchants will usually have promotions to attract the citizens to spend the government handouts at their premises. Last time was another $4 (?) voucher if spend above $80 (?). Somehow didn't see anything this time. I may wait till the end of the month when everyone has got their allotments, then see whether any promotion announcement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweetie Pie Posted November 7 Report Share Posted November 7 2 hours ago, QinWei said: u must be the non-younger Gen right? i hvent too I did attempt to pay for expenditures to another government app using the NS200. "Not successfuly" was the statement I received from another government app, even though it seemed like my NS200 fund had been deducted. I contacted to both authorities about the issues, and after some back and forth verifications, MINDEF finally refunded me the NS200 a month later. After that, I went to the SS ATM to take out cash to pay for necessary expenses instead of using apps to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweetie Pie Posted November 8 Report Share Posted November 8 (edited) My phone started beeping when I was shopping in Sheng Shiong. message from MINDEF. What a coincidence. Of course the most human thing to do, while I was at the store, was to look for their ATM and withdrew $190. I spend the remaining $9.80 on groceries. The distinction between a CDC voucher and NSlife is that with a CDC voucher, you can make up the difference in cash if your groceries cost more than $9.80, whereas NSlife you must spend the exact or less than the amount of $9.80, that was what Sheng Siong staff told me. In this regard, MINDEF failed to see the inconveniences. Edited November 8 by Sweetie Pie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
