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?
ReplyDeleteThis 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!
ReplyDeleteAs wat LHY said ..it goes to show that the Sinkieland Gov can not be trusted..no matter wat debunk tat the G said ..the goal post keep changing...that why LHY has no confidence in this Gov & wan to migrate but too bad he can't go now as his elder bro gonna fix him & use the G machinery to debunk all his allegations...a waste of public time & resources..

What Phillip Ang is warning about is this ENS scheme.
ReplyDeleteRB
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?
Can you imagine the likes of junior nobodies like Grace Fu and Lawrence Wong in the committee overriding the wishes of Singapore's world-known revered legend Lee Kuan Yew ?
ReplyDeleteJust like 70% purposely voted for PAP with their eyes wide open.
ReplyDelete10:43 am
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?
ReplyDeleteSince 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? ///

ReplyDeleteLKY said when I am gone demolish it!!
So simple!!
Why?? Because I don't want people to discover any DARK SECRETS that may undone what I had done what's seemed to be done for the good of Singapore.
Don't make me rise from my grave!!
You Imbeciles STOP quarreling and demolish the House.
Everything buried with me.
What I want to know is how easy it is for someone to mistakenly choose the "Enhanced" scheme?
ReplyDeleteIs it just a little pen mark, a tick?
An Pek, you want the "enhanced" one?
Enhanced? Better?
Ok lah. Better is good.
hahaha
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.
ReplyDeleteSo, 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.
When the old fart passed away, Ah Long was so surprised that he saw so many Sinkies go kowtow to his dad..gosh he must b thinking that since many people pay their respect to old fart Long Ge concluded that the people dun wan it demolished mah..best thing is the 2015 GE due to publicity of old fart passing Ah Long had secured a 70% dafts Sinkies mandate, he concluded that the people dun wan the old house be demolished as he got the majority people mandate...so whatever Yang's old fart 7th will not "pah Kay" ( not recognized) as old fart could be signed by persuasion of Yang's wife not at presence of original lawyer ( Kwa gal), in so doing Ah Long form a Minionster Con-midee to silence & even wanna lock up Ah Yang ( if he can't prove all his allegations against his elder bro)...wat a Despicable Long is ( should u trust his leedershit...70% dafts Sinkies trusted Long Leh...)...

Even Lee Hsien Yang and his sister also finally gave up by deciding to leave Singapore, so what more lesser Sinkie mortals?

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".
Will future historians call it the Oxley Memorial?

If Long Ge minion committee decided not to honor the old fart Last Will, this will have serious implications.

ReplyDeleteWhy LKY wanted to demolish the House after his Death??
ReplyDeleteHe 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.

Do you think the only way to guarantee that LKY's house is demolished is for LHY & LWL to form the next government?
ReplyDelete//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.//
ReplyDeleteTiok.
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 bad flip-flop trait of PAP is apparent even in the international geopolitical arena.
ReplyDeleteA Global Times editorial recently noted Singapore's flip-flop stance toward China hard to change. It warned Singapore may not abandon its flip-flop diplomacy and China needs to be prepared for this.
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!
ReplyDeleteIf 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.
Hsien Yang and Wei Ling want people to speak up for them as they post this on their facebook :
ReplyDeleteFirst they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
Martin Niemoller (1892-1984)
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.
ReplyDeleteAn Old Pioneer Citizen.
When daft people hear the word 'enhanced' they go for it, like upgrading. So simple for the trap to work.
ReplyDeleteHowever, 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.
By then what can small potatoes like you and me do if LHY and LWL can't do?
Actually Hsien Yang and Wei Ling in quoting Martin Niemoller are lamenting about themselves. They did not speak up when the PAP brought in India nationals under CECA to cannibalize our jobs; they did not speak up when the PAP raise the water price for Sinkies by a whopping 30%, etc . . . So now they want Sinkies to speak up for them when they're facing troubles?

ReplyDeleteSori 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...
LKY has to depend on his hand picked team of Millionaire Aristocrats in parliament to protect LHY and LWL. Good luck with that.
