What I hate about the current Singapore

[Nebbermind]

Oppsgal:

Ask the higher income to donate part of their salary?

here, it's easier to make the poor man pay for exhorbitant COE!!

[limlim]

Not being able to use CPF is just ridiculous…


Isn’t CPF supposed to provide for elderly??? Above certain age, say, 65yo, they should allow CPF to pay for medical expenses at polyclinics and hospitals…

COE is already $60K and you have not even bought the 4 wheels.
Next COE will show a more drastic dip.
I'm staying at home more to avoid the crowd...really terrible phobia seeing so many people...rooted to the floor holding on to hubby's hand.

They REDUCEd the income tax contribution rate and impose/introduce GST..

and what is your solution and action plan besides hating ?

I feel they should allow unrestricted use of ownself or child's medisave to pay for medishield premiums. And not cap at, say, only $800.

They should also allow deduction from more than 1 medisave account to pay for the premiums.

And allow use of medisave to pay for riders to cover the deductibles and co-payment..

in summary, ALLOW the use of one's and kin's OWN MONEY to take care of their medical bills.. unless.. medisave is NOT own money.. then.. my argument is flawed..

As per my usual question, have you done the sums or even considered the knock-ons of such a policy? Its easy to be populist when one does not suffer the consequence of poor policy making.

People use terms simplistically. "Oh, CPF is MY money, Medisave is MY money. I therefore can DO ANYTHING I want with it."


That is utter rubbish.

CPF is your money, with strings attached. Same with Medisave. Same as things like pensions, 401K schemes in the US, retirement funds, annuities. They belong to you, BUT, you do not have unfettered use of it, you cannot use it willy-nilly, for anything you like, anyhow you like.

I trust you understand why this is so, I don’t have time to get into a long explanation.
