由来
  • 1950年代与1960年代，是新加坡争取自治和独立的时期，生于这个年代的新加坡人，经历了不少社会的动荡，也在艰难时期推动了新加坡的经济发展，为新加坡建立了稳固的基础。
  • 这个时期出生的男性是新加坡的首批国民服役人员，一些新加坡女性也提早踏入社会，以劳动力支持她们的家庭。
  • 为了认可这群为家庭和国家付出的新加坡人，在2018年的国庆群众大会上，李显龙总理宣布了立国一代配套（Merdeka Generation Package，MGP）。
  • 立国一代配套将让大约50万名新加坡人受惠，其中的福利包括：百盛乐龄卡（Passion Silver Card）一次性的100元充值，可用于活跃乐龄活动（active ageing programmes）和支付公共交通的车资等；从2019年至2023年，每年可获得200元的保健储蓄（Medisave）户头补贴；凡是到参与社保援助计划（Community Health Assist Scheme, CHAS）的家庭诊所、综合诊疗所或政府医院专科诊所问诊可获得门诊津贴；参与终身护保（Care Shield Life）可获4000元的奖励金，以及额外5%常年保费津贴，在75岁以后所获得的额外常年保费津贴将增至10%。
ETYMOLOGY
  • Singapore fought for self-governance and independence in the 1950s and 1960s. Singaporeans who were born in this era experienced social turmoil and promoted Singapore’s economic development in turbulent times, thus laying a sturdy foundation for Singapore.
  • Men born during this period were the first batch of national servicemen in Singapore. Some Singaporean women also entered the workforce early to support their families.
  • In recognition of the contributions by this group of Singaporeans to their families and the country, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong announced the Merdeka Generation Package (MGP) during the National Day Rally 2018.
  • MGP will benefit approximately 500,000 Singaporeans, and includes the following benefits: a one-off $100 Passion Silver Card top-up for use on active ageing programmes and public transport; S$200 Medisave top-ups every year from 2019 to 2023; outpatient care subsidies at general practitioners participating in the Community Health Assist Scheme (CHAS), polyclinics or public Specialist Outpatient Clinics; a $4,000 participation incentive to join CareShield Life, and an additional 5% MediShield Life Premium subsidy for annual premiums, which will increase to 10% after the holder turns 75 years old.
