wat thing $9000 from govt?
Citizen NSmen to get $9k award
By Gwendolyn Ng
SINGAPORE citizens who have served their national service will each receive $9,000 through a new award to be given by the Ministry of Defence (Mindef).
The National Service Recognition Award (NSRA) will help to fund the cost of operationally ready national servicemen's (NSmen's) education and also help them buy a home. Commanders will receive a larger sum.
Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, who announced the implementation of the award at the National Day Rally yesterday, said: "It is a significant tangible recognition of the sacrifices, efforts and contributions of our national servicemen. It's for Singapore citizens only."
This will be a token of appreciation for the time and effort citizens give to serve national service, he added.
Mr Lee said: "National service makes a heavy demand on male residents and, I should say, on their spouses and families, too."
He elaborated that male Singapore residents not only have to serve two years of full-time national service and many more years as an NSman, but also try to build their careers and raise their families.
The sum will be paid in tranches at significant milestones of an NSman's service.
It will be deposited into their Post-Secondary Education Accounts and Central Provident Fund accounts.
Mindef will announce details of the award soon.
The award is one of the measures Mr Lee highlighted in a bid to assure Singaporeans that citizens come first.
He added that permanent residents who have completed their national service will receive the award when they take up citizenship.
He was addressing the issue of competition from foreign talent, where he pointed out that it was "not practical to make foreign workers and adult immigrants do national service".
However, Mr Lee pointed out that many PRs and first-generation citizens also do their part by serving national service.
Other ways in which the Government recognises the contributions and sacrifices of NSmen is through providing them with Safra clubhouses, allowances, tax reliefs and top-ups in government bonuses.
The award is good news to 20-year-old NSman Benjamin Huang, who said: "It's good to know that the Government is appreciative of our efforts.
"This will definitely help me pay my school fees when I go to university next year."

they nv state, only say SINGAPORE citizens who have served their national service, those who have served meaning served 10 yrs ago also can get right?
scooby, I feel your pain too.. although my epi works for me, the rest of your ordeal sounds abit like mine.. wah lao I tell you my nipples like kena punishment everytime latch or pump.. now I stop latching and just pumping, better for me.
I kena engorgement and block ducts a mere 3 days after discharge from hospital. So miserable and beg my hb in the middle of the night go NTUC (ours is 24 hrs one) to buy cabbage to relieve my pain..
in the first week of my confinement I cry three times in a row.. first when my boobs damn pain, then when my son had to admit for jaundice.. then another time when my son keep crying and I got down to business feeding him, changing him.. funny enough he sleep liaoz then I cry my eyes out - I told my HB I was so scared I will kill my baby with my ignorance. got other times also wanna cry but held back my tears.
For your boobs pain, I suggest you massage regularly to prevent the block ducts, then start pumping every 3 hrs, will help greatly with your engorgement. doesn't matter if little milk come out. eventually your supply will go up if you pump regularly.. drink more red dates tea and water - in whatever form thats available to you during confinement.
Hang in there, things will get better.. I hope [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

sad to say, my gal is using the pacifier now cos she needs to suckle a while before sleep yet impatient to use the "real" one.. so so bo bian, but the babie will spit out the pacifier or u can take it out once they r asleep so that it wun be difficult to wean them off later.. cos now the newborns need alot of comfort and security..

Hi
Sorry no time to catch up posting here, but a quick question.
To those who went thru C-section, may I know when can we stop using the tummy binder? My gynae told me I can remove the white plaster tape today by myself so I did, and I did not use back the tummy binder... scared that it will affect the wound...

Penguin,
I also wanted to buy that Osim Magnetic belt..... I saw it at Kiddy Palace but they don't have the regular size so end up I didn't buy. My hb's cousin said its effective for her...
Scooby, congrats! The good thing is the labour process is over now.
re: baby lifting up head
Mine also can!! Lifts from left to right to change his head position during tummy time... I also thot he progress so fast... cos my #1 gal also did that only when 2-3 months old... Then I thot maybe boy is more aggressive and stronger than gals...
ahNah,
I think mamalove also have latex mattress...
ducklingeshop,
I brought my baby out a few times liao... to PD, to LC, to nearby shopping mall..... All I can say is its inconvenient!! Cos at this stage, my baby keep wanting to drink milk every 2 hourly..... I gotta keep hiding in nursing room to latch him on.... and he keep poo-poo and I end up having to change his diapers quite often... I find it quite mah fan .... But I guess I gotta tahan this cos I really don't wanna stay at home all the time...

Btw, my mother and my mil wanted to shave my girl's hair, why can't I just leave her baby hair to grow??

hi mummies
i'm new to this thread.. my 2nd boy was delivered almost 3 wks ago, but i have yet to register baby name..
I have a qn for those who are not 1st time mummies, do any of you ve chosen entirely different (not even similar) names for your kids? My 1st boy name was chosen by me and now for the 2nd, we got geomancer to choose, end up the 2 boys ve entirely different names. Is this common?

I don't intend to shave my girl's hair too, cos its so soft and nice... I dunno abt belief and tradition, I just can't bear to give her a bald look at any one time... and the sayings that shaving will give baby thicker and more even hair... I just don't buy it.
nature lover,
I think so, mistaken abt the date, cos forgot that AUgust got 31 days...suppose to have my 1st Jamu massage on 1st Sept, dunno how it will turn out to be...a little nervous. I never have massages session before.

mamyvelle, yeah, looks like large sized teats based on the indicator shown on the teat.... I won't let my boy use yet cos I purposely want him to use small small hole teats.... make him work hard to get his milk! ....... As for the brush, I use the Avent brush... its quite a squeeze to put the brush into the narrow bottles but it does the job.
scenty, the massages will be shiok! Don't worry.... Its meant to let u relax.

Scent: Yr massage should be okies de.. dun worry.. mine's the very traditional type.. first tym, my massage lady help to "straighten" my veins n blood circulation.. the next 6 rounds was to rub off my fats n firm up the flabs.. im happy to say my tummy is alot smaller than when i first discharge.. just remember a gd maddage not only helps u to relax, it should help u to detox too.. =)
cyn here,
my two kids' names v v different cause of the selection of strokes. it is really up to you one.
anyway, all my siblings also v differnet names, except me and my sis.
naturelover, your massage sessions sound good!
dream, massage, press on the block duct when bb latching (best), or jus massage and press press (use thumb, need strong pressing) until it is clear.need to do it many many times for some stubborn blocked ducts.
