An article about a widow who spent in just a year all the $1 million she
received from insurance payouts and donations, filled up page 3 of the Sunday
Times (ST) yesterday (‘$1m gone in a year: Widow is now broke’, 8 Jun):
http://www.tremeritus.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/Photo0236.jpg
The widow, Madam Pusparani Mohan, received the money after her husband was
killed 2 years ago in an accident at the Changi Airport Budget Terminal.
At the time, a PRC passenger had a quarrel with a taxi driver, commandeered
the cab and drove off with it. The PRC crashed the vehicle at the Budget
Terminal killing Mdm Pusparani’s husband, who was working as a cleaner
there.
ST wrote, “Today, that money ($1 million) is all gone.”
ST said that Mdm Pusparani is now looking for work in Singapore to support
her four young children back in Johor Bahru.
“I made a mistake. People knew I had so much money and they all came to me. I
am so stupid. I never buy house and finished all the money meant for my
children,” Mdm Pusparani told ST.
“Now I don’t have enough for my children’s future,” ST quoted her.
ST detailed how the money was “whittled away”:
May 2012: She withdrew $150,000 and returned to Malaysia – $50,000 to pay
off debts and $100,000 in her brother’s transport business
Sep 2012: She returned to Singapore to withdraw $400,000 to invest further
in her brother’s transport business, which failed after 6 months
Jan 2013: She returned to Singapore to withdraw the remaining $400,000 for
her living expenses
May 2013: She said she is left with only $50 in her account in Singapore.
ST reported that Mdm Pusparani is currently working as an accounts clerk in
JB earning RM2,000 a month.
“Today, her employer pays her rent for an old, double-storey terraced house,
which her family of five live in. A huge portrait of the late Mr Chandra is the
only thing adorning the empty living area. Her children’s shoes are torn and
worn out; so too are their schoolbags,” ST wrote.
“The family sleeps on two old mattresses in one of three rooms on the second
storey. Clothes are piled up on the floor as they cannot afford a cupboard to
keep them in,” ST added.
ST also reported that Mdm Pusparani tearfully said she felt ashamed.
It is not known why ST decided to publish this news yesterday, taking
up a full page, even though Mdm Pusparani had already whittled away all her
money more than a year ago.
A reader, who highlighted this news to TRE, thinks that perhaps ST is trying
to convey a message to Singaporeans who are demanding the release of all their
CPF monies at age 55.
The reader said, “Prominence to the article was given with a picture snapshot
of the heart-broken widow and her four children on the front page with the
article and added pictures splashed on entire page 3 as top news.”
The reader is of the opinion that ST is intending to convey a message to all
Singaporeans demanding full early release of their CPF savings. And that is:
“Watch out – you will end up like the widow with premature and unplanned CPF
withdrawals”.
“Press control is also mind control – shaping and shifting the thinking of
ordinary people to a desired path,” the reader noted.
“So you chop the head of the chicken by playing up the story of the widow to
frighten the monkeys!”
Incidentally, it is also observed that ST published this news
“strategically”, a day after the CPF protest at Hong Lim Park on 7 June 2014,
even though Mdm Pusparani had whittled away her $1 million more than a year
ago.
Is ST intending to tell CPF members something?
Will all Singaporeans behave the same way as Mdm Pusparani if they are given
back all their CPF monies at 55?
What do you think?
