Never mind if it is less or more,but i think it is a good way to reward the singaporeans for all the hard work they put in.

Yes, since the government has made it clear that it is a return to the people for strong economic growth, not as an election ploy. I do not see why it should be limited to election years. And I expect the progress package to be given out when the economy shows strong growth. It is also a good way to benefit people who otherwise derive no benefit from this growth.

Progress package is a waste of money, and does little to alleviate poor Singaporeans from their hardships. It is a short-term boost with no long term prospects, aimed at securing the hearts of the people, and not coincidentally, during the elections period.

Come on! We all know the progress package is for the General Election. Every year, unlikely. Every 5 years, maybe.

I'm for returning the money to the people whenever possible. Congratulations Singaporeans!

It's a very good macroeconomic policy, as it has promoted significant growth in the region as a whole, both by increasing the savings rate (and therefore, total investment) and by providing a direct incentive stimulus.
