I like that there is more tax on tobacco which will decrease the amount of smokers which is beneficial to the country.

I like that vouchers are given out to help those in need

I like that there is more childcare places and way lower fees which support low income facilities]]> 2023-03-30 06:08:57 UTC https://padlet.com/lim_huiting_grace1/3ovyrs2tfzn8f6v6/wish/2537874323 https://padlet.com/lim_huiting_grace1/3ovyrs2tfzn8f6v6/wish/2537877108 Budget is both good and bad. For some things such as cars and tobacco, taxes should be increased in order to increase the average health span of smokers as they will reduce smoking due to higher cost and global warming will be reduced due to lesser people buying cars. Houses however should not be taxed as it is a necessity and taxing it will make it harder for one to buy a house]]> 2023-03-30 06:11:02 UTC https://padlet.com/lim_huiting_grace1/3ovyrs2tfzn8f6v6/wish/2537877108 https://padlet.com/lim_huiting_grace1/3ovyrs2tfzn8f6v6/wish/2537878060 One thing we like about group 1 sharing that it helps the poor. One thing we dont like is that it may make people lazy.

One thing we like about group 2 sharing is it discourages smoking. One thing we dislike is that we're going to end up rich one day and so this law will greatly disadvantage us.

One thing we like about group 3 sharing is that it helps out new families. However, the paternal leave is still not yet sufficient for males as women have 4x more maternity leave

One thing we like about group 4 sharing is that it helps lower income families achieve financial stability. However, it may make them think that the government would always help them.

One thing we like about group 5 sharing is that it helps the elderly out. However, it forces people to save more, limiting their purchasing power to afford luxuries.]]> 2023-03-30 06:11:51 UTC https://padlet.com/lim_huiting_grace1/3ovyrs2tfzn8f6v6/wish/2537878060 https://padlet.com/lim_huiting_grace1/3ovyrs2tfzn8f6v6/wish/2537879305 Agree
1. More childcare centres and subsidised prices. More parents are able to afford childcare and work at the same time. 
2. The government will top up $500 million to the Eldercare Fund and this helps to subsidise seniors, so they can pay less for medical costs. 
3. I agree with the increase in Tobacco prices. It can help prevent people to spend money on such things and helps their health get better. Along with that, the environment would also be improved as less smoke would be released. 

Disagree
No time]]> 2023-03-30 06:12:53 UTC https://padlet.com/lim_huiting_grace1/3ovyrs2tfzn8f6v6/wish/2537879305 https://padlet.com/lim_huiting_grace1/3ovyrs2tfzn8f6v6/wish/2537880219 1. Cushioning Hard Times (Inflation)
- Dislike: doesn't like the support because inflation is good
- Like: Allows people to afford basic education, housing

2. Rasing Revenues Through Taxes
- Like: those who pay higher taxes can support people in middle/low income
- Dislike: richer people pay more taxes

3. A 'Singapore made for families'
- Like: younger couples with not so much money can settle into housing more quickly -> contribute to economy
- Like: fathers can spend more time with children
- Dislike: "single people don't get subsidies" ~ Titus 2023

4. More support for lower-income families
- Like: as students, don't need to worry about finances, can focus on studies

5. Support for seniors
- Like: it will help us in future as we will all grow old (top up to Elder care fund)]]> 2023-03-30 06:13:43 UTC https://padlet.com/lim_huiting_grace1/3ovyrs2tfzn8f6v6/wish/2537880219 https://padlet.com/lim_huiting_grace1/3ovyrs2tfzn8f6v6/wish/2537881515 It is a good initiative by the government. 

Taxes on tobacco Encourages less people to smoke, improving health stability of country.

It is only an option for fathers to use their leaves wisely for their families. they may waste time.

It is good for equality between rich and poor, ensuring a united country.

Ensures that people can still have a sustainable life when they are old.

This would encourage more to start family as well as support the local hawkers.

Dislike: these schemes may not be sustainable since much money has been put to give aid to low-income households. we also do not want higher-income families to look down on the poor as their tax has been used to give aid to the poor.]]> 2023-03-30 06:15:28 UTC https://padlet.com/lim_huiting_grace1/3ovyrs2tfzn8f6v6/wish/2537882328
