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?

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

2.52 million multiply by $500 = $1.26 billion!

:eek:
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 (y)

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.

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

I'll use it if they allow the fund to be used to get Powered Pleasure Craft Driving Licence (PPCDL).

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.... 😤
