WP Chen Show Mao proposed to strengthen CPF model - 02May2011Oct 16, 2011
Workers' Party (WP) candidate Chen Show Mao suggested yesterday that the government should strengthen the Central Provident Fund (CPF) model and grow the people's money, as recommended by the World Bank. Mr. Chen, who was speaking at a rally for Moulmein-Kallang Group Representation Constituency (GRC), near Kallang Avenue, said that the government should look into a pension fund model. "Inflation is close to five percent. Does a 2.5 percent interest rate on CPF represent a good return?" he said. "After you use CPF for housing and other needs, will you have enough to retire when you reach 62 (years old)?" "We suggest Singapore follow international best practices recommended by the World Bank and study the feasibility of a pension fund model to enhance the returns on our CPF monies," said Mr. Chen. Meanwhile, Mr. Koh Choong Yong, WP's candidate for the Sengkang West single-member ward, repeated WP's call for the GRC system to be abolished, saying the PAP candidates are riding on the coattails of civil servants.

Singapore Citizen Spent 68% Of CPF Saving On HousingOct 16, 2011
A paper presented by an NUS social graduate Ng Kok Hoe at a Seminar on the Aged yesterday questioned if Singaporeans have sufficient CPF savings for their retirement, the Straits Times reported. Mr Ngs presentation revealed that a Singaporean would draw between 8 per cent and 26 per cent of his last drawn salary from the CPF at age 65. and that 68 per cent of annual CPF contribution is spent on housing, while health took up 18 per cent and pensions 14 per cent. Minister for Community Development, Youth and Sports Dr Vivian Balakrishnan who was at the seminar said there was no perfect balance to how CPF should be spent. He added that Singaporeans had by and large got it right so far without substantiating his claims. Singaporeans are allowed to use their savings in CPF ordinary account to pay for housing loans. More than 85 percent of Singaporeans live in HDB flats built by the government. Though the government claims they are heavily subsidized, the prices of HDB flats have sky-rocketed in recent years. As such, an increasing proportion of Singaporeans CPF monies are tied up with the housing loans leaving little for their retirement. With more and more Singaporeans entering retirement age, there are concerns that they may not have sufficient CPF monies for their retirement and end up being a burden to the state. Despite being the second richest country in Asia after Japan, Singaporeans enjoy few social welfare benefits from the nanny state which has constantly espoused ...

Stereo version: www.youtube.com Lullaby of Departure 离别的摇篮曲- 邝美云词：郑国江，曲：Ed Yamaguchi, Okada Shiro 情激流尽了情结怎么解今天一切让我活埋情路行尽了情况继续坏当天的一切变作一生的心债My Love Goodbye 心似被刀割My Love Goodbye 痛苦可理解Lullaby Lullaby 是我欠了你的债求闭上眼睛想想不要问还愿了解我的心态Credits: The court transcript part is from: www.youtube.com Background: When you apply to the relevant Singapore police department for a Certificate of No Criminal Conviction (CNCC) - which is almost always required by the country that you are applying to be a PR of - the Singapore government will ask you to fill out a form, on which it has already listed 10 potential reasons for you to pick for wanting to leave Singapore! Singapore Democratic Party (SDP)'s Dr. Chee Soon Juan's explanation: "They don't want to live in this society, which they don't feel a sense of belongingness. They don't want to live in a society, whereby they have no say! That come election, everything is railroaded and they don't have a way that they can pick their leaders", is, however, not one of the 10 multiple-choice answers provided. I suppose wanting to be free is not a reason the People's Action Party (PAP)-controlled government could have imagined in its wildest dream. lol. Anyway, the final "patriotic" act you can do, is to fly Singapore Airlines (SIA) on your way out... Bon Voyage！ 一路顺风！ Oh, and Happy National Day, Singapore! Majullah Singapura! Shine for Singapore!
