When u purchase goods at NTUC fairprice, you get both linkpoints
and rebate...the rebate will be credit into yr account depending on
the dividend given out by NTUC, mostly around 4 to 5%, so if you
spent $1000 per year at NTUC fairprice, you get $50 rebate if the
dividend is 5%. For Linkpoint, you can get it in many places, NTUC
also have a wide range of shops which give linkpoints, which you
can change for voucher, fans or cooker etc etc. There is this NTUC
U credit card under OCBC, once charge, linkpoints updated. Like you
go pump petrol or diesel, you get both the kiosk points like smile
or thanks point and also linkpoints.
If you read news of government giving out millions to help the
lower to lower middle income family, you tend to wonder, where are
these millions, how come I do not get a bite of it, it is because
govt put it in few agencies the like of WDA (Works Development
Agencies) which is mainly for training, NTUC, CC and others, NTUC,
being for labour, get the most from govt to distribute to its
member, because NTUC, being govt link, hope to get more members to
join them, so that in both social and political aspect,
it is a gain for them.
