The 2 Crucial Changes to PIC from 2015 Onwards

(Read also 'Move over PIC, now it's Training Credit' at here)

 Following my over 9 articles on PIC (read one of them here), these are the 2 changes to PIC from 2015 onwards.  Note: there is this course on PIC at here. 

 1.  PIC Bonus of up to $15,000 will cease to exist  

 This means that the last financial year to get your PIC bonus is 2014.  What this means is that in this year of 2015, you can still get PIC Bonus for your PIC claims made in 2012 to 2014.  Note: the PIC Bonus is an automatic scheme, i.e., you don't need to apply.  The IRAS will automatically give you the PIC bonus as long as your PIC claims is $5,000 or more.  The PIC Bonus is another 100% of the PIC Claims that you made, on top of the 60% cash that you get. The cap is $15K for the years 2012 to 2014.

 2.  Three Employees Requirement every month.  

 Companies need to have 3 CPF employees every month in the quarter that they're submitting.  Before 2015, companies only need to have 3 CPF Employees in the qualifying month (i.e. the month where you made the claim.

 Note that the '3 CPF Employees' exclude directors and shareholders and their immediate families. It includes Singaporeans and Permanent Residents.

Kindness as a Way of Life: How Kindness can Reward You 6 Times Over

Kindness as a Way of Life by Andy Ng Kindness is a universal language that transcends cultural boundaries, enriches human connections, and has the power to transform lives. It goes beyond mere acts of charity or random good deeds. To me, kindness, when practiced as a way of life, becomes a profound philosophy that can shape our interactions with others, the world around us, and even our own well-being. In this article, we will explore the multifaceted aspects of kindness as a way of life, touching on non-violent communication, the limitations of traditional charity, the potential harms of helping, the deliberate cultivation of kindness, and the incredible rewards it brings. 1.       Non-Violent Communication Non-violent communication (NVC) is a key component of practicing kindness as a way of life. Developed by Marshall B. Rosenberg, NVC emphasizes empathetic communication that seeks to understand and connect with others on a deeper level. It encourages active listening, empath

New Age Mobile Numerology

Many people look at 'mobile number change luck' with skepticism, they say, how can just one simple mobile number change create so many changes in a person's life?   Also, the mobile numbers are given to us by random by the telcos, how can our fate be assigned by the telcos at random? Besides, isn't it true that our lives and fates are determined by birth and what we do, how can a small mobile number, which is a modern invention, have any effect?  How about people in the past without mobile numbers?  You mean they don't have a life without mobile numbers, right? One more thing: you cannot just change your mobile number and expect your life to change. If this is so, wouldn't everybody be rich just by changing their mobile numbers? Finally, isn't this kind of fortune-telling thing more of psychology and blind faith than science?   If so, how can we trust anything that is not proven and not science? Today let's resolve all these doubts and I welcome your co

If Not You, Who Else?

I learnt this very powerful 5-word phrase from Singapore's highest ever box-office movie ever: "Ah Boys to Men II". In one scene, the recruits were about to start their 3-day field camp.  Their Officer-in-Command asked them, "Before we moved out, anybody not feeling well?"  All the soldiers replied loudly, "No Sir!!!" "Gentlemen", continued the Officer, "Every time the training gets tougher, one thought comes to your mind, 'Why Must I Serve National Service?' "My answer to you is, 'If Not You, Then Who Else?'" Wow!  What a powerful phrase!  If Not You, Who Else may mean: You are the most suitable person, and we can't find anyone better than you.  This is appreciation at the highest level How can you push this responsibility to someone else? I am making a request to you specifically, please don't reject my request Can you find me another person more suitable than you? Please refer me anot
