What the Sunday Times did not tell us on CPF Life

[Confuseous]

He should have told us the fact that the govt refuses to “protect” CPF Lifers from fund failure, despite CPF Lifers having to participate.

If one cannot trust a SPH journalist to give us the relevant facts on a non-political issue, how can we rely on any SPH (and MediaCorp journalist, for that matter) to analyse or report political issues? After all our local media is proudly constructive and nation-building?

BTW, how does this refusal to “protect” CPF Lifers square with what PM said last week? “We want to enhance [the CPF’s retirement-annuity scheme] so that the payouts can keep pace with the cost of living,” and “We also want to provide stronger assurance in retirement for the lower-income groups.”

Don't "protect" from fund failures but compulsory to participate
Head I win, tail you lose.

If one cannot trust a SPH journalist to give us the relevant facts on a non-political issue

This morning at 8.58am during UFM1003 chatshow with another SPH journalist 蔡深江, Chua Chim Kang mentioned that understanding more involves a lot of explanations to the masses; it is actually a "higher kind of level" if we can just don't care about the underlying details and leave in good hands.

PS: sorry that RUN couldn't catch his exact words but RUN supposed that Mr Chua is sufficiently educated. Harbouring such skin-deep views about the quest for intellectual intelligence, is self-defeating. How can someone so smart say something so stupid?

Let me share my personal experience. RUN visits hospital over 60 days in a calendar year. Are you aware that many advanced medications and medical procedures in government hospitals cannot be deducted with our Medisave SAVINGS? Note: Medishield is an insurance; if the insurer wanna siam, we can argue about it. But Medisave is my savings, if I cannot even use it for medical purposes recommended by doctors, is that really my savings?

People do not know because they are either in better health than RUN or they took Mr Chua's advice to be ignorance. But would you agree that somehow one day, everyone will experience what RUN is going through now?

Dear Mr Chua,
Choosing to ignore is worse than stupidity.
smart people don't think others are stupid (and don't deserve to understand more).

A Nation defeated.

In other words, the PAP is like a religion. All it requires from you is unquestioning faith. Don't ask too much, don't think too much, just believe.

A nation of sheep truly deserves a government of wolves.

Ok, I admit those who don't think, are happier than us.

No wonder PAP is trying to get Kong Hee and gang. 一山不能藏二虎

Bro Xingguy,

This is one of the best posting on CPF Life.

Wonder why Boss Sam, who sing praises about the CPF Life, never highlight this the way you highlighted it.

Sorry can't up you again. :( :o
