Forget about more CPF dialogueS, Hri Kumar confirms government not listening
An honorable member of the Coffee Shop Has Just Posted the Following:
I refer to this short video clip of PAP MP Hri Kumar’s engagement with his constituents. link Retiree Ng Leng Hui, 70, commented that he is not on the side of the government because of the unfairness towards CPF members and that the government has “shifted everything, you have never listened to us. We’ve tried many times, no listening.” If Kumar is not hard of hearing, he should not have evaded the issue by claiming the “real question in this debate is what do we do with a large number of people …who will not be able to survive on $300 a month?” Kumar is clutching at straws to maintain the CPF status quo. Our CPF is trapped in GIC from age 55 to 65, which means having $0 during the first 10 years of retirement. If one cannot “survive on $300 a month”, does Kumar expect a miracle with $0?? When Kumar’s constituents told him about the unfairness and other issues, all he did was throw a question back at them! Engagement PAP style? Kumar then engaged in fear mongering and said that in order to take care of retirees, we need to have a system where “everyone pays more taxes”. Madam Ng was quick to rebut and said the government already has the money after collecting indirect taxes like “GST, ERP, COE…” so why the need for more taxes? Kumar was really lost and asked if there’s “any country in the world that charges as low a tax as we do, and yet provides solid safety net as you are suggesting, then maybe that is the model we should look at”. Singapore has low taxes, really? Kumar should get his facts right before firing a question to evade the issue. Let’s take a look at some of our direct and indirect taxes.
