Govt debunks a sms message on CPF nomination

SINGAPORE: When Central Provident Fund (CPF) members pass away, their savings will be given to their nominees in cash - and not transferred to their Medisave account as claimed in a message making the rounds on social media.

"There is absolutely no basis to this rumour," stated a post on the Singapore Government website on Saturday (Jun 17), debunking the message circulating on WhatsApp, SMS and social media.

"The truth is, by default, your nominees will receive your CPF savings in cash when you pass away. This is unless you have opted for a different type of CPF nomination," it said.


The above govt statement is to debunk a sms message going around saying that in the event of death, all CPF money would be paid to the nominee's Medisave Account. This sms message is not true or inaccurate. But what Phillip Ang wrote about the ENS scheme is true. Read the govt statement above,

"The truth is, by default, your nominees will receive your CPF savings in cash when you pass away. This is unless you have opted for a different type of CPF nomination," it said."

What is this different type of CPF nomination? The govt statement did not elaborate and stopped there. This different type of CPF nomination is the ENS or Enhanced Nomination Scheme that Phillip Ang was talking about in his post that I quoted in this blog on Saturday.

What Phillip Ang is warning about is this ENS scheme. Make sure this is what you want for your nominee when you opted for this ENS scheme. Your CPF savings will go to your nominee's CPF account and not paid out in cash if you opted for the ENS.

What's more can u do when an Gov official ( Shame-mugan) tell a citizen ( Ah Yang) -- sue me if wan if u find there is any conflict of interests or something fishy?
This equates to the similar treatment to ordinary cpf members la..a hero TRoy who spoken before of citizens already sue by Long Ge till run road to another country..oppo people all silenced by Long Ge & unable to form gov..who to blame? KJ already said u got the gov u deserved-) dafty Sinkies..

The Government debunk is a HALF TRUTH, cunningly worded to pull wool over the eyes and ears of CPF Contributors and DULL THEIR BRAIN. This unethical, immoral and unscrupulous manner of going about countering truthful information in the Public Domain is totally unacceptable and should be condemned by all CPF Contributors and Members in Singapore and elsewhere!

Ya lar, but ENS scheme is not the default scheme what. The default scheme is paid in cash.

So when Sinkies purposely choose the ENS scheme which is paid into CPF and their nominees may have to wait long long to get it, they are choosing it with their eyes wide open. That is fair, tio bo?

Just like 70% purposely voted for PAP with their eyes wide open. No?

Tiok. And of course 70% know the PAP under Hsien Loong is not that good anymore, or at least not as good as before, unlike in the old days when even RB supported PAP by helping out in their Meet the People Session.(MPS)

But 70% still voted for PAP despite knowing PAP is not that good now. So they are voting for PAP with their eyes wide open because they can clearly see that voting for keh keh (fake) opposition is even worse.

That's why Hsien Loong, being smart, knows junior nobodies like Grace Fu and Lawrence Wong very well and so decided to form a ministerial committee for obvious reasons.

Just as Hsien Loong knows majority Sinkies, especially new Sinkies, very well and that's why citizenship was "given out like toilet paper" which some had commented. Of course literally speaking, this is a bit of exaggeration lah.

What Sinkies do not know is how to form a strong united opposition which is ready to be govt.

Or maybe they know but don't know how to make it happen. And I think Hsien Loong is well aware that Sinkies don't know how to make it happen and he is quite happy about this.

/// This does not explain why the committee was set up less than one month, what is the term of reference?

Since 38 Oxley Road is a private property, is it a practice to set up a committee for every private property?

According to the Will there is only one option, and one option only, why is there a need for the committee to decide. Should it be the rightful owner of the property to decide what to do with it?

This committee was considered “secret” because this committee was only known to the owner recently. There was no prior announcement!!!

Is this committee legal?
Is it not infringing other’s privacy?
How much this committee would cost to the tax payers? ///

LKY did his job too well, when he put in place state organs to take down his opponents, he also remove our voice and brain and backbone.

So, when he needed our collective public support to apply pressure on his DS not to put him on life-support, we didn't say anything. So the poor man suffered a painful death.

Now, his children made public the way their bro misused his power, in the hope that the public would stand up and demand accountability from their PM, again the public is silent, preferring to put our heads in the sand and dismissed it as a "family feud".

So yes, in both instances, singaporeans are the weakest link. But this is exactly what lky had wanted us to be.

LeeShengWu shouldn't be too surprised or disappointed that there is no good man left. His grandpa started it. Now his uncle just continued.

Because CPF pay more interest, much more than bank FD rate, if you leave your money in CPF.

So if you don't need the money, better to leave it in CPF to earn higher interest.

In fact and since I am also eligible to do so, I even put back more cash into CPF allowed under the "Cash refund for CPF used for property".

Why LKY wanted to demolish the House after his Death??

He knows for himself the reasons.

He might had consulted the Chief Monk. Hoong Choon and many others prominent ones overseas.

They might have told him.To perpetuate his family honours and future powers, the House have to be demolished in order to start a new cycle of power.

But his son wants it to remain to remind Singaporeans of his Father's legacy and be smitten with gratitude for him and he and his descendants be in power forever.

But Long's failure to honor his father's Will would face repercussions in the future. Example when a new power take over in the future, probably a new citizen ( of China origin or Malaysia origin or Indon origin) will demolish it as they might feel threatened by 'his presence', but tat will be in xxxx years time when all local Sinkies r overrun...

The Silver Silence of the Wotkers' Party is Golden. This matter of Lee Kuam Yew's Will to his children is EXCEEDINGLY CLEAR! It is firstly a PRIVATE MATTER. Secondly, he has stated in NO UNCERTAIN TERMS (even to the extent of informing the Cabinet( that his house be demolished after hus death and that his daughter Lee Wei Ling can stay there until she dies or move out. But certainly his house MUST BE DEMOLISHED!

If Lee Hsien Loong intends to DISHONOR HIS FATHER'S WILL by turning it into a POLITICAL ISSUE by evoking the Cabinet and constituting a Ministerial Committee to deal with the matter, WP should simply stand aside and watch the Free Entertainment.

Lee Hsien Loong, as the eldest son of Lee Kuan Yew as well as the PM of Singapore, a political position painstakingly crafted and gtoomed by his own father for many long years, and given to him on a golden plate, should gratefully (not bitterly) and sincerely (not dubiously) and undoubtedly (not begrudgingly) accept the WILL OF LEE KUAN YEW and allow the Estate Administrators to execute his (LKY) Will fully without even a single indication of causing obstruction for it to be done.

When daft people hear the word 'enhanced' they go for it, like upgrading. So simple for the trap to work.

However, it is not of any use to fret over your CPF when you kick the bucket. This is a private nestegg which you can nominate your next of kin to get your money upon your death, in cash.

But the problem is, like the will of LKY, they can also say your CPF is of public interest, and if the government needs money desperately, they can just set your nomination aside by setting up a secret ministerial committee to see how they can get their hands on your money, lock stock and barrel, instead of just keeping it and letting you have it in drips.

Actually Hsien Yang and Wei Ling in quoting Martin Niemoller are lamenting about themselves.

So now they want Sinkies to speak up for them when they're facing troubles?

Sori to say tat Ah Long is still not very CONVINCED by the final 7th Will of his father. Heeven doubted that his father was persuaded or coaxed or forced to signed the last will drafted by Yang's wife & not the usual lawyer ( A Kwa). Ah Long has every reason to doubt this last Will. Ah Long is also in a surprised mode that even his father also dun trust him & got to entrust the last Will to Yang & Ling, Long must be so pissed off..now that his father has passed away 2years, it is Long's duty to keep the house in order & to make sure that his younger bro & sister dun create anymore trouble ever again. So a minister committee was set up to ensure that the Will r properly looked into, maybe autopsy the Will to see if its forged or interrogate the Y & L & lawyers to see any discrepancy by Justice Shame-mugan & Justice Tio & Juctice Lau-Lan & Justice Dis -GraceFu..the final verdict will be " the house will not be demolished" & King Lee-ar lives on to rule , or it could be " the house will be demolished" in accordance to the last Will & case closed...waste of people time & resources...
