“In my case, I need to pay $100 cash every month for my HDB mortgage. What if someone who can’t even afford to pay cash, then how?? In the name of helping, you are pushing the people to a corner where they have no choice but to sell their HDB flat.”
“I’m 51 . After 50 my OA contribution went down. More went to SA and Medisave. I had no choice and started to pay HDB cash 0f $50 by giro. Then suddenly I received a letter from HDB demanding $238 cash. That’s when we checked and found out that my wife’s OA and SA were empty, because she had turned 55. Thankfully I still had some money in my OA and paid that amount with my account.”
“Then we arranged with HDB and now I must pay $100 every month for the next 5 years in cash. By the time I am 55, I don’t know what the hell is waiting for us. Please MP Lily Neo, is this what you called helping old age people?”
“I work 12 hours and my wife feels so tired. We are getting old already. Please understand the pain that PAP and the government are putting us and others like us into. And you want us to believe that PAP and the government are helping the seniors? People like me and others would still believe PAP and the government are only doing this to hold on to our CPF forever. When you put too much pressure, one day it would explode!”
