[BREAKING!] 70% of people have not yet used $500 Skillsfuture subsidy that expires at the end of the year

[HirotoXeno]

Can ha

If we dun c any mp go, then means non of us go.

Nxt time u give them $1000 valued(mayb anyhw inflat)course, tell them come take coz and its free. C they wana come or not.

Same logic.

Can have the option to convert or top up to CDC?

 

[qcubesg]

Your math zhun or not

Can only count ppl above 25yr old in a certain year during covid i cannot remember

 

[tomsss]

Assuming 70% of sinkies (citizens) ish about 2.52 million people

2.52 million multiply by $500 = $1.26 billion!

well think of it this way


it's that amount of money that the govt saves if the 70% dun use the skillsfuture. dun have to pay those course providers claiming them

 

[speedsonic]

what a waste when we want is access to the overseas website provider.
which is direct relation to the type of specialized knowledge, training we actually want need.

not the overpriced shlt stil have to pay cash... and time.

Maybe is another way of them implying sinkie no skills than FT. Cause sinkie keep training whole FT keep import to come in.

Ish clear the skillfuture ish not only bring zero value, it actually incurs negative value to the pple to attend.
Courses that are subsidized until nearly free, still nubuddy will take up.
Lolz.

There ish nao two choices.
1. Cull the useless courses
2. Pay pple to attend those courses.

Either way ish acceptable.
Lolz.

silly ones like drone courses (using cinematography to tout) when the latter is only towards the last class (3 day class) and when you CAN'T fly in almost 80-90% of SG and with so many restrictions, I think the biggest winner is DJI (the mfg of drones) ...... end up with using Skills future (about $400 after all the so called crazy discounts ) and drone costs $1300++ ...... end up with a white elephant

 

[zzangiefzz]

Wonder who are the owner of these skillfuture class

 

[michael_thm]

Can utilize in late Dec for courses starting next year or not ah? Coz next Feb free can go learn stuff like plumbing or what not...

They should allow donations, such as the CDC voucher or government payout. At least it can help the underprivileged families. So wasteful, so much credit....
