then can somebody explain why there is an expiry date?

just continue adding vouchers to the balance instead of setting it up as one-off instance with expiry every.single.issue

 

[gwbasic]

I think PAP will loses the upcoming election if they stop issuing CDC vouchers in the coming years.

because the amount is so small it is used up long before expiry date.
Those who could let it lapsed are those not going to use the voucher, too sick or senile to use it etc.

 

[xdivider]

meaning no vote us no cdc sibo........

 

[nEoN]

meaning CDC voucher will always be around because there is no long term solution on rising COL.
Look at COE... and other fees, taxes.. etc.

what's that to stop anyone from suddenly declaring "no longer needed" and "not sustainable" and pull the plug?

???????

why must dictate or set condition like expiry if the idea is to help?

maybe I want to use it as buffer leh? for rainy days?

your logic a bit warped

The voucher he give will only be more. Not less.

As its will be more difficult to survive in the future.

Vouchers not a long-term solution, government spending much more on structural programmes: PM Wong​

what keep them as buffer... you keep $500 cash then spend the $500 voucher first lah. Or every $1 voucher you spend you put aside $1 cash lah. SPend voucher first.
Cash on hand is better than voucher with restrictions.

CDC vouchers and Lawrence Wong are so synchronous with each other that EDMW knows him as Voucher Wong
