Depends on whether it was budgeted for. Last yr, it was still given because it was already budgeted for. After the govt has give up so much assistance, it is now everyone's guess.

Was it based on specialist scheme? I got it for one yr only (am doing IT). Then it was removed for my grade MX10 because the circular sent out was that the remuneration is on par with private.

When Teo Chee Hean first announced about this remuneration, it was to incentivise ppl to take up engineering and IT work. So, don't believe what is being sold to you.
