$1,600 is a lot of money hor!

Given she's earning pretty well at 12k a month, what's 1600 to show gratitude and love for her parents.
Very likely she is a grad with such a high income.
If the parents didn't groom her , would she be what she is now?
Unless the parents didn't pay for her education ,then it's a different story. She may then have a case to gripe super loud !!!

$1,600 not enough? Izzit because the mother has a high medical bill?
I did a 3-year experiment back in 2010 and I can live on less than $1,500 monthly (less than $18,000 annually) and that includes paying insurance, utilities, broadband, mobile, newspaper, property taxes + once-in-a-while purchases like TV, fridge, washing machine, notebook, tablet, aircon etc. Does not include traveling though so maybe the mother wants to travel?

It is relative. Given her $12000 pay per month, she could afford to give her mother more. However if she also pay for teh household expenses, then the $1600 for her mum's pocket alone, it is more than enough. I do agree that she need to save for her old age. Her mother probably is a greedy black hole.
Having said that, I used to give my mother more than half of my salary when I was a fresh graduate but the money given remained as it was till her passing. I would give more when i have more year end bonus and $500 for her ang pow money. Later year increase to $1000 as new notes for her to prepare her ang pow. Luckily, My mum never complained about monthly expenses given even though I have risen through ranks in my career, she is so proud of my success and was a very appreciative kind woman. I am truely proud of her and miss her dearly.

At least, glad to say I treated her extremely well when she was alive. A great and altruistic mum that never asked for more.
Just prayed last week at the temple during her anniversary.
Always in our hearts 💕.
Treat your parents well when they are still living.
You will never forget the fond memories when they are gone.

Greedy mother. 1600 is more than enough. If there's really an emergency case I'm sure the daughter is willing to top up.
