Should children be going for spa treatments? What are the pros and cons of this emerging trend?
Depends on the type of spa. If it's for vanity, it'll nurture the wrong values. If it's for bonding and relaxing, I'm OK.
My husband and son go for back massages together for stress relief and to loosen muscles... This is something I can't do at home for them.

It's a good idea if the treatment is beneficial to the child's health and well-being. If you have extra cash to spare, no one should tell you it is excessive or wasteful to give your children some pampering.

While it is OK for a child to go for spa treatments, parents must educate their children that this is not the most important thing in life and to spend within their means.

No to spa treatments for kids. Spoiling them at a young age means predisposing them to a life of luxury they may not have as a grown-up.

Should there be a Pioneer Generation Package Part 2 to help more seniors? Should there be means testing to ensure assistance goes to only those who truly need help?
Means testing sounds mean. If we are using the package to honour them as they grow older, then it should not be seen as a "social welfare" help where only the very poor get anything.
- Lorna Khoo
This package was a citizen's right and not a charitable concern. Hence, it should be open to all citizens, rich or poor.

Everyone after a certain age deserves the same treatment from the Government. Just because they are not from the pioneer generation doesn't mean the newer generation contributed less.
- Jun Guo Tan
The Pioneer Generation Package should be a continuing process. As one reaches 65, one should automatically qualify.
