While life is not hopeless, but each of us is hopelessly human.<br /><br />People can keep hoping the old man will get up from his grave.

If your friend is the one who paid out the full 80% of it, then in theory the 80% will have gone back to his account. As for the 20% + proceeds, arguably, they should be equally split/shared if your friend is caring partner who value her contributions all these years? But still, decision like this should NEVER be left to the discretion of the board. Who are they to dictate and execute the transfer to her without his consent? They are not his estate executor and he is clearly NOT dead yet. This should have been contested. <br />Besides, your friend could have said that there is a lumpsum of Insurance policy that will cover her if anything were to happen to him post death. But until then, whatever is your earned money is your money, "personally responsibility" speaking. <br /><br />In fact, what PAP has failed and many didn't provide the retort is that IT IS precisely of personal responsibility, that the people are demanding the government to return their retirement funds when they reached the age. They don't want to be a burden to the state nor expecting the state to turn a personal responsibility into their responsibility that people are duly asking for. It is in fact a good sign where the society is heading. Yet, when it comes to withdrawal, they want to turn this into "collective responsibility"..ie not just your money. So you see, heads they win, tail you lose.

Apparently our Clown Prince was quite pleased with it.<br /><br />Another fine day, some other smartass commented us joint spousal consent should be required.<br /><br />Looks like they are really obsessed to make it as difficult as possible to withdraw our CPF. Just wondering whether it is really true someone lost big time with our monies ? <br /><br />Otherwise how to explain why they have so many restrictions while their Malaysian counterparts doesn't seem to have any of these restriction problems ?<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
