Straits Times: Ban Singaporeans from using CPF to buy HDB

http://statestimesreview.com/2018/05/09/straits-times-ban-singaporeans-from-using-cpf-to-buy-hdb/
 
Following the ridiculous speech by President Halimah Yacob, state media Straits Times featured a government university’s professor absurd call to ban Singaporeans from using their CPF savings to buy HDB flats. In a premium article titled “President Halimah’s call for bold changes draws bold ideas” on Straits Times, a government university scholar, Professor Walter Theseira told Straits Times that Singaporeans can retire if they do not use their CPF money to buy exorbitant HDB flats:
“To ensure Singaporeans have enough retirement savings, a bold shift is ending the use of CPF savings for home purchases. Combining one’s retirement assets with housing assets works fine if housing prices continue to rise – which may not be the case. The current system gets people to save through their homes, but this may be a source of concern as the value of homes may dwindle as they age.”
Other “bold ideas” – according to the 151st-ranking newspaper – include calling for more taxes, giving more money to businesses and allowing driverless cars on the roads. The ideas however have been slammed as stupid by Singaporeans who read the government propaganda news.
Along side the state media, government universities in Singapore are usually the first to promote new government policies as a “soft launch”. In 2016, CNA and the NUS published a fake survey claiming that Singaporeans are racist when it comes to voting. This resulted in the re-writing of the Constitution to allow only Malays to contest, so the majority Chinese would not qualify.
In late 2017, state media Straits Times and several government newspapers published rumours of a GST hike. A few months later in 2018’s Budget, the GST was raised from 7 to 9%.
Earlier on Monday, President Halimah Yacob read aloud a script written by the PAP Ministers. The useless puppet of Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong had her script drafted more than 20 times, and ended up reciting a ridiculous speech waxing lyrical about leadership and “ageing well”.

A Challenging Future Economy
A recently-released 2017 108-page report by the Committee on the Future Economy reflects how broken the top-down system of Singapore’s economic development has become. It is a classic example of how the planners have been sleepwalking their way into the land of the unknown.
The Committee on the Future Economy (CFE) is a 30-member committee comprising members from different industries that operate in both global and domestic markets, as well as enterprises both large and small. It is co-chaired by Minister for Finance Mr. Heng
Swee Keat and Minister for Trade and Industry Mr. S Iswaran. Minister in the Prime Minister’s
Office Mr. Chan Chun Sing serves as Deputy Chairman.
Manu Bhaskaran, Senior Adjunct Fellow at the Institute of Policy Studies,
‘Singapore faces a plethora of big structural challenges such as high costs, loss of competitiveness,
threats to our regional hub position, our failure to boost productivity, weak
innovation outcomes despite immense mobilisation of resources and innovation inputs, weak SMEs and the absence of large private local firms, rising inequality, inadequate social safety nets, especially the inadequacy of CPF to provide sufficient retirement income in cash,’
Jason Tan, an economist at Centennial Asia Advisors, said in a scathing Facebook post,
(It) is disconcerting – even discomfiting – when five ministers on a 30-member panel,
aided by thousands more in sub-groups and consultation groups, cannot come up with
refreshing policy directions to bring Singapore forward.

一篇稍微有点旧的文章,现在还是适用。

medisave已经限制了很多使用的地方
搞得很多生病的人经济压力很大。
如果买房子也搞这套,估计新加坡很多人会更惨,我认识很多本地人都是cash flow很低,靠cpf还房贷才能不至于资金链出问题。
