Juz17,
to answer your questions...
1) y the $4k cash they give out later? N not in one lump sum but part by part?
Cos alot of parents don't know how to 'save up' and spend all at one go!
It's meant to cover 'costs' like vaccination, etc. So the timing is roughly around the timing that you need to pay for these vaccinations.
2) unless they encourage only rich ppl to give birth, y is it so ex for average families to have a child?
It's not exp. Average income then average lifestyle.
Go KKH/SGH, choose subsidized, totally ZERO CASH (for most of my friends without complications).
Govt allow the medisave claim in such a way that if you really got no cash, still won't die cos can go Govt hospital. However, if you choose private hospital, then be prepared to fork out the cash on top of the Medisave deduction.
Not saying that it's not good but it's a personal choice.
I personally have written in to suggest that all delivery costs or pregnancy related costs should be allowed to deduct fully from Medisave to encourage more Singaporeans to have kids.
3) y cant we use medisave to pay for the delivery?
You can. It's just a matter of how much is the total costs at private hospital vs govt hospital.
4) y hospital charge extras for weekend delivery??
If your boss ask you to work on weekends, you will expect OT pay right?
Similarly, the hospital staff and gynaes have families too!
If you want to them to understanding to you, then we also need to learn to be understanding towards others.
Anyway, no point griping on all these cos it'll affect your mood and affect baby.
Just be a happy mummy!
Since you've already prepared 'standby' cash in case yours is not enough, then don't worry and be a happy mummy

Go Kandang Kerbau Hospital/singapore general hospital, choose subsidized, totally ZERO CASH (for most of my friends without complications).

Lol i tot only hotels busy...din noe hospitals too? Lol ok la both Hs la
Haha... I'm just stating facts...
Cos many ppl keep grumbling but don't step back to think logically....
I always tell my friends, if you are nt happy with govt, there are 2 ways out:
1. Join them & make positive changes
2. Run off to greener pastures
most of my friends chose Option 2, only to return a few years later with praises fr what our govt has done.
Singaporeans are really a spoiled bunch...生在福中不知福！
Yah agree totally!!!! "claps claps"

yes yes! i totally agree with u stonston! some ppl just take the gov for granted and complain and whine so much... pls, and they say they know tt life is not perfect yet they want EVERYTHING to be done for them nicely and perfectly suited. why not the gov just give each family 10K a month and everyone dont hv to work anymore?????

tt's y i said, if not happy with SG govt, might as well go Brunei looo... since their govt pays for everything.. :tlaugh:
Their govt got natural income, ours dun have so must spend prudently!
You want to be like EU countries with 6mths mat leave, paid paternity leave up to 2 months, free healthcare, etc etc, then please pay the amount of income tax they are paying - around 20% of their gross income!
Maybe we've been in our comfort zones for too long, our parents provide very well for us, which makes us have this mentality that govt should give us everything too.
NO ONE OWES SINGAPORE A LIVING.
Where were you when your teachers taught NE?
