Labour Movement called on govt to RAISE CPF RATES for OLDER WORKERS

[pillowtalk]

Financial burden on the younger generations will be reduced. it will be useful in helping older workers manage healthcare costs. Every employer should #valueeveryworker‬ despite their age.

why asking for cpf increase?

why dont NTUC ask for no gst for older workers who buy medicine and pills when they fall sick?

 

[gingerlyn]

after CPF contribution increase for older workers, GST will increase to 10%.
so what is the point?
PAP fuck off

It should be reduced rather than increase.
With current cpf rate employer already prefers FTs. With increase age 50 up will be worst , isn't it ?

This is a dumb proposal as usual.
Current elderly cpf rates is so to make the seniors more 'employable'.
Also only a portion of cpf goes into medisave account. For older workers the cpf in the ordinary accounts are refunded as cash every 6 months. How much increase in cpf is needed to fatten medisave to meet current expensive healthcare bills?
