我参加了一个年轻女孩石曼的请求。为了帮助这位71岁的叔叔。他失业了,现在无家可归。他的中央公积金有67千美元,目前他的月收入只有425新台。他是单身,没有家眷。
我希望任何善良的人都来给他提供一份工作(最后抽到的1100新台币)和一个供他住宿的地方。
请联系我以获得进一步的信息或下午我。他的名字是林叔叔。在此期间,我将帮助他起草一封正式的信件,并帮助他申请一个出租公寓。

Had he been allowed to withdraw all his CPF he would have lost his home AND his $67,000. Thank goodness the minimum sum rule has been implemented to save people like him from himself.

Thanks to CPF, this sinkie will have $400+ a month for many many years, ensuring that he would not starve to death. PAP is farsighted!

I fully agree with you. It would be great if Sinkies knew how to manage their finances but sadly 99% don't have a clue. That is why the PAP has to adopt policies that prevent Singaporeans from squandering their wealth.

Hopefully the influx of foreigners will lift the overall IQ of the country and the next generation of Singaporeans should be more astute when it comes to saving and investing.

So this is the meaning of poor not disadvantaged or left behind ?
Same as TCJ said picking cardboards is for exercise ?
Thank you again to the 70% who voted for the million dollars highest salaried ministers ever
