"CPF will still be around,
HOPEFULLY"
Then he realized it too late and covers up... sweat man...
That unintended slip is like the tip of an iceberg where only 1/10 of the volume is seen above water, 9/10 remains submerged and hidden.
Who knows what is the extent of the real damage?
Wise and astute S'poreans would be having COLD CHILLS running down their spines and only those mindless fools would laugh at such a gaffe.
I suppose the rush to renounce S'pore citizenship and withdraw the entire CPF would be more pronounced NOW amongst those who have left S'pore
I also consider it VERY STRANGE that the PAP is only prepared to guarantee ONLY$20000 for bank deposits and not the whole sum of deposits since S'pore's touted reserves are in the hundreds of Billions $$$.
Both the Australian and NZ govts are prepared to fully back ALL BANK deposits to the hilt in their respective countries.
As to the premise that the leaders have the interests of S'poreans foremost, I would say they have their own interests at heart foremost- their sky high salary is proof enough.
For a true leader would take responsibility for any shortcomings and mistakes, eg step down and let a better person do the job for the greater good. This has NEVER been the case in the PAP-Wayang coverups, passing the buck, moving on etc.
Their cling to power is so tenacious as Charleston Heston's deathgrip on his gun- where one has to "pry the gun from his cold dead hands".
