I have heard rumblings of 0.3months this year. true? too low? too high?

A bit difficult to predict. No discernible pattern e.g. 14.8% = 1 mth vs 4.7% = 1 mth, and 1.3% = 0.7 mth vs 2% = 0.65 mth.

well it could mean that our civil service folks' work quality doesn't really correlates to economic performance. after all Singapore's economy mostly influenced by global trend.

I predict something conservative given the negative outlook, like 0.5%

My Ah Gong told me this year CS will get 0.4month. Let start the predictions and rumours rolling.

Well,just take it 0.65 the least throughout the yrs

0.25 is the least not 0.65. So maybe just expect 0.25mth to avoid disappointment.
