CPF - Seniors pay up or else....

This is really sickening honestly… at advanced age, many seniors are unable to live in peace!!! And worst, many still voting PAPPY!

WuJi

According to Wuji in his post in TRE, many seniors are being harassed by reminders from the CPF to pay for their Medisave Insurance. Oops, oops, cannot say harrassment, just gentle reminders.  Is this true? How many seniors cannot afford to pay for their CPF Medical Insurance? Maybe not many has seniors are quite rich, or maybe not. These schemes are very good for them. When they are sick and hospitalised, if they have no money to pay, the medical bills may shock them to death. But with this so thoughtful and caring CPF Medical Insurance Scheme, they can live in peace, hospitialised in peace. The CPF Insurance Scheme will take care of the bills. True or not? Please tell me it is true and not otherwise.

How old are the seniors, above 60, in their 70s, 80s, and 90s.  Many already either retired or lost their jobs in the 50s and 60s. Still got money to pay for CPF Medical Insurance Scheme meh? Can, got, the govt got top ups for the seniors so sure can pay. How much is the top up and how much is the premium? Enough or not? 

When a person has not been working for 10 years, 20 years or 30 years, still got money in the CPF to pay the premium, before or after govt top ups? I dunno, honestly, I dunno. I have not received any reminder letters yet. Touch wood, pray pray, no reminder letters.

Seriously, for those in the 70s and above, they came from a generation with very low income and very little CPF savings and would have serious difficulties paying the premium. For those with weak hearts and kia chenghu type, receiving reminder letters would be like letters from Ah Longs, it must be excruciatingly frightening. Cannot pay how? 

Why are old folks being pressurised to pay medical insurance premiums when they don't even have enough money to pay for food? Why subject these oldies to such pressure and harrassment in their golden years or dying years? And when GST goes up, they must pay GST also.

Where is the heart? Where is the compassion?

Anyone got any good solution to spare the old folks so that they can live in peace just before they RIP? I am sure the super talented millionaires have no good solution or else they would have come up with them to show how kind they are to the oldies. Or this CPF Medical Insurance is the best they could come up with.

When one is in the 70s and older, no job, no income, no savings, no CPF, no nothing, everyday waiting to be called home, and still being pursued to pay their insurance premium, what kind of life is that?  Can this be called cruelty to the oldies? Owe money to the government because the government made it compulsory for them to pay for CPF Medical Insurance which they cannot say no. But they really got no money, then how?

The Ah Longs would say O$P$.  This is the law. And in this rules based country, not rules based order, the law is the law. Poor oldies, it is for your own good you know. The govt created this wonderful and caring CPF Medical Insurance to help you, to take good care of you when you are sick and hospitalised. 

So be grateful and say thank you. The reminder letters are just reminders only.

Reunification gives the Taiwan Chinese a role in the rejunevation of the motherland, to build a better and richer China

China knows that taking Taiwan by force and with heavy casualties of lives would cause a lot of anger, hatred and unforgiveness from the victims and would be unacceptable. They would want to avoid this. The latest exercise and the inaction of the Taiwan military is a sign that they were communicating and would not fight and kill each other.

Many Taiwanese have now come to their senses, that it is futile to fight a war with China. And reunification is a good thing and would ensure security, peace and prosperity. They also know that they cannot rely on the Americans, now wanting to snatch TSMC to the USA, and Japan, really a spent force.

Both sides would soon be talking, if not already talking, on how best to reunify with the Motherland. The Taiwan Chinese are not that stupid as the Americans and Japanese would make them to be, to want to die fighting Chinese from the Motherland. Only the Japanese and half Japanese would still be pushing for this agenda.

The Americans and Japanese may be able to find a few traitors to support independence, like finding a Zelensky, China would be able to find many more patriotic Chinese in Taiwan that want to reunite with the Motherland. China has already won the reunification cause by being rich and powerful, not the poor and weak China of the past.

Reunification with the Motherland is not being invaded and conquered by a foreign power and life can only be better. They could negotiate for better terms to make everyone happy. Reunification also means the Taiwan Chinese could contribute to the rejunevation of a modern and powerful China for all Chinese.

Choosing reunification means the Taiwan Chinese have chosen the honourable path of patriotism instead of being traitors to the Chinese Civilisation and the Motherland. They would be warmly welcomed back to the embrace of the Motherland to share and build a new and better China for all Chinese. This is a wise and glorious choice, an important decision to be remembered in the history of China and the Chinese Civilisation. Do not be condemned by history and the Chinese people to support the enemies, ie the Americans and the Japanese to go against the Motherland and the Chinese Civilisation. 

If the Americans and Japanese succeeded in destroying China, they would condemn you just as well for being shameless traitors to your own Motherland and Civilisation. You would not to be respected as honourable people for turning against your own kind.

The Evil Japanese Are Onto It Again - Visiting The Yasukuni Shrine

"This is an issue of the Japanese people, so Japanese people need to decide themselves," said Yukie Takahashi, a 60-year-old office worker.

"It's a day to worship, to look back on the past, reflect on it and pray."

Among those visiting the shrine were a vocal group of right-wing activists, some dressed in military uniforms and bearing flags ostensibly to show off to the World that they still harbour the intention to invade other countries, and there is nothing wrong with that.

There are others who released doves and birds as s symbol of asking for peace and tranquility.

The Japanese NHK news showed the shrine being visited early on Monday by several existing Cabinet Ministers, including Economic Security Minister Sanae Takaichi, along with Koichi Hagiuda, the head of the LDP's policy research council and a few of Abe's closed Axis of Evils.

"It is natural for any country to pay respect to those who gave their lives for their country," Chief Cabinet Secretary Hirokazu Matsuno reiterated this message earlier on.

Japan will continue to pay lip service to pretend to show the strengthening of its relations with its close neighbours - China and South Korea.

In 2013, Abe was the last Prime Miinister in recent memory to visit Yasukuni while in office, a visit that was vehemently outraged by both China and South Korea and even drew a rebuke from its close friend, the Evil US Empire.

Though the Evil USA and the Evil Japanese Empire have become somewhat uneasy fellow-bed-fellows, outwardly showing a staunch Axis of Evils together, but for the past 7.5 decades since the World War, their legacy of the conflict haunts the whole of Asia.

To the Koreans, they marked this day as the date as National Liberation Day. They will always remember this day and hate and resent the Japanese for its ruthles invasion, rapes and forced occupation of Korea from 1910 to 1945.

China has bitter memories of Imperial Japanese troops ruthless invasion, massacres, rapes and forced occupation, and various atrocities of unimaginable proportions within various parts of the country from 1931-1945. The Evil Japs went on a full-scale rampage of the whole country, treating and massacring millions of innocent, defendless and hapless Chinese folks without closing an eyelid. To most Chinese, this day can never be forgotten and washed away by blood!

Freedom of Navigation or Freedom to Intimidation?

 The warmongering Americans that thrive on wars and hegemony have invented many deceitful terms and phrases to mess around with sovereign states, to interfere in their domestic affairs, to provoke and incite wars and raise tension between states. War on terror, war on drugs, democracy, human rights, genocide, debt traps are all invented by the Americans to cause mischief, to invade countries, to destabilise countries, to impose sanctions and to threaten countries with invasion. The world must not be deceived and exploited by the evil Americans. The world must stop the bullying and threats by the Americans. Only the number one terrorist nation, the USA and the Anglo Saxon tribe, is doing these dastard things.

Freedom of navigation is anything but about freedom. It is about American gangsterism, using their naval power to provoke and threaten the safety and security of nation states, blackmail and outright challenging a country to war. Freedom of navigation in its simplest and rightful sense is about freedom of commercial and civilian ships to navigate the high seas without threatening any country or being threatened or prevented from sailing the high seas. 

Sailing warships, heavily armed, into the front yard of countries without any good reason is but a show of force, an act of gangsterism, a hostile act that could lead to conflict and wars. The intent of such an act is hostile and unfriendly. There is no acceptable reason for any country to sail their warships, ie weapons of war and destruction, into the territorial waters of another country to make a statement that it has a right to be there. No country has obstructed freedom of navigation against commercial and legitimate navigation, peaceful and non threatening navigation in the high seas or territorial waters permissible by international laws. Why must the Americans be thumping their chests to prove that they could sail everywhere, into other countries territorial waters? These are rogue behaviours of uncivilised savages.

The regular and mischievous sailing of warships into another country's territorial waters by the Americans is unacceptable and cannot be condoned.  It is American gangsterism, bullying and arrogance, to intimidate and threaten the countries concerned. Such unfriendly and provocative acts, disguised as 'freedom of navigation' is unhelpful and dangerous and must be stopped. Innocent passage by warships uninvited is anything but unfriendly. Warships are meant for wars. Warships should only be allowed in the territorial waters of countries when invited, not uninvited, not budging in to show military muscles and naval power.

Freedom of Navigation in the way used by the American gangsters is an unfriendly act and very provocative. The world must not tolerate the bullying of the American gangsters under such deceitful excuses. The UNCLOS must define freedom of navigation to prevent misunderstanding and acts of adventurism and provocation.  As it is, the evil and warmongering Americans have yet to be a signatory of the UNCLOS and strutting around the high seas ignoring the provisions of the UNCLOS but demanding every country to abide by UNCLOS rules. They regard themselves as above the law while demanding others to abide by the law. They can incite wars, go to wars, commit massacres and genocides, lie, cheat, commit war crimes, violate human rights, abuse minorities, concentration camps etc etc, but no one else is allowed to do so.

The gangsters of the high seas must not be allowed to get away with their lawlessness and aggressive provocative behaviours. Gangsters are gangsters. Warmongers are warmongers. Terrorists are terrorists. They are judged by their acts and behaviours, not by their words and lies.

Polonium Could Have Been Easily Produced By UK and USA

The deadly nerve agent that caused the poisoning of the Russian ex-spy, Sergei Skripal and his daughter, in Britain could have been developed in the U.S. and the U.K. instead of Russia.

The then UK’s Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson had said that it was “overwhelmingly likely” that Russia’s President Vladimir Putin directed the March 4 poisoning of former military intelligence officer Sergei Skripal and his daughter in Salisbury. So far, there has been no proof forthcoming. It's all about probabilities. Speculative.

Johson had indicated that the weapon used in the attempted murder was believed to be from the Novichok family of nerve agents. He added that it could have been developed by the Soviet Union (many years ago, before the collapse of the USSR).

As far as Moscow is concerned,
the Uk's accusations against Putin in the nerve gas attack are surprisingly shocking. The Kremlin has repeatedly denied involvement in this case.

Some countries in the West, have been doing such Novichok research for a long time now.

The scientist has singled out both the U.K. and the U.S. as countries where the Novichok-class agent was reportedly developed, adding that it “may very well be that the substance used on Skripal’s poisoning could have come from the stocks” of these two Western countries.
