well firstly, if you notice carefully, I asked if anyone had
heard it, I did not said I believe it or I am sure of it. That is
why I am asking around if anyone heard any rumors on it.
Secondly, I am confident that the last increase from $240 to $350
was in 2002. It is because I enlisted in Aug 2002, and my 1st
allowance was more then $500, 2 weeks for Aug plus 1 month for
Sept. 
Thirdly, I might have make a mistake in TCH's son, I apologise for
that. But I sort of remember that when they announced the reduction
in NSF serving time, TCH's son was serving, and the news on the
ground was that is it because his son is serving, that is why the
serving time is reduced? But the offical reason that they give was
that SAF is moving to a 3G army and as they will be a influx of
Dragon year people enlisting, therefore, there is enough manpower
for the next 10 years.
Lastly, Gahmen increase everything on a silly reason. Just take a
look @ the GST. 
PS: Do not assume that all people are naive. Sometimes, news do not
travel as fast as we think they will. That is why we always have to
look for confirmation before activation.
