Dr Wong Wee Nam has always been and will always be a voice that stirred the conscience of our people. Even as fear blanketed this island, his bold and clear moral principles shone brightly for many of us.
Through the years as he grew closer to the SDP, he was a mentor to many of our younger members. Unbeknownst to many, he nearly stood as an SDP candidate in the 2011 General Elections but had to withdraw at the last minute because of familial reasons. But even though he was not a candidate he was in the thick of our campaign, always a source of strength for his party colleagues.
Dr Wong was a leader of the Old Rafflesians Association, an active stalwart of the Singapore Medical Association and a highly respected general practitioner. His compassionate views influenced many of our ideas in our policy papers especially that of healthcare, a policy in which he helped to shape and author.
He was a thinker and an avid writer often delving into the Chinese classics to draw lessons for modern Singapore. His book "Thoughts From A Gilded Cage" was published in 2018.
His demise saddens all of us at the SDP. We hold his loved ones in our thoughts and prayers as they go through this difficult time.

Clifford Theseira's predicament sums up everything that's wrong with the CPF system

When the CPF system was started in 1955, it had a laudable goal – to help workers put a little of their wages aside for retirement.

The current system manipulated by the present generation of PAP leaders have turned the scheme into a nightmare for Singaporeans, and Clifford Theseira's case highlights the problems.

First, the facts as provided by the CPF Board.

Mr Theseira had withdrawn a total of about $140,000 over 17 years from his CPF savings since turning 55. He is presently 72. He owns a fully paid up 5-room HDB flat.

To supplement his retirement savings, Mr Theseira says he drives a Grab taxi. He also has more than $50,000 in his Medisave account but is forced to continue to contribute to it, failing which his Grab driver's licence will not be renewed.

This elderly man doesn't seem like the sort who is irresponsible with his finances. After all, he has worked all his life to the point that he has fully paid for his flat. As far as we know, he continues to live with his wife and now drives a taxi even at his age.

But the PAP insists that people like him cannot be trusted with their own savings because they may squander it and then turn to the State for financial help, hence the Minimum Sum Scheme cooked up in 1987 to withhold CPF funds from retirees.

To date, the Government has refused to provide data on how many individuals squander their savings and turn to the state for help. Does the number warrant a blanket punishment for the vast majority of retirees like Mr Theseira who are responsible and astute managers of their own funds and lives?

Or is the Minimum Sum Scheme a convenient excuse to hold on to a vast pool of public funds for the government's benefit?

Another crucial question that the PAP must answer is why at the age of 72 must Mr Theseira and others like him continue to work to support himself and his wife?

The answer, if the PAP cares to admit, is that many retirees are now asset rich but cash poor. In simple words, Singaporeans have had little choice but to use their retirement savings during their working years to pay for their HDB loans.

These loans are often stretched to 25 to 30 years because of the inflated prices of the flats. When they now have to retire, they find themselves with insufficient savings.

In the meantime, the PAP government sits on reserves estimated by some sources to be $1 trillion. Much of these funds have been derived from the government selling land to HDB buyers, land which it paid little or nothing for.

Mr Theseira also laments the fact that he has to continue to pay into his Medisave account when he already has close to $60,000 in it.

This is another way in which the PAP financially bleeds the people. Medisave sits on reserves of about $90 billion. It pays out annually around $900 million from patients' accounts – that's approximately 1% of the total quantum it holds!

Part of the problem is that the PAP continues to treat our healthcare system as a profit-driven industry with our public hospitals built and run like 5-start hotels with all the unnecessary costs and expenses that come with these trimmings.

Retirees like Mr Theseira ought to be living out their retirement years with security and peace of mind after having worked a lifetime to raise their children, be good employees, and help build the country. Instead, because of the distortions in the CPF scheme, they now find themselves fighting for their survival.

An HSBC report said that Singapore is one of the toughest countries to retire in with 30% of pre-retirees saying that they will never be able to retire fully, compared with 18% globally.

This situation cannot continue, and the SDP is determined to rectify the problem when we get into the next Parliament.

Goh Meng Seng now attending the e-scooter rally, that rally seems to be unnecesary, is just "oppose for the sake of oppossing".

CPF, homelessness, CECA, etc all these are worthy to champion for, but PMD? The government has a valid concern when they ban PMD. it is for the safety of the majority of Singaporeans. People have died, there are injuries. How is Goh Meng Seng going to face the family of the woman who was killed by a PMD rider and the scores of people injured by PMD riders? That pic from sgfuck is right, the safety of SIngaporeans outweigh the convenience of PMD riders. Goh Meng Seng is there just to score some cheap political points? Hope it is only Goh Meng Seng and Tan Kin Lian attending this rally. Certainly do not wish to see SDP politicians there. Suspect Lim Tean may attend too because he's a little "whacko".

Help Zohra and call on the HDB to install lifts that serve every floor in Block 115 Marsiling Rise, 730115 and Block 119 Marsiling Rise, 730119. (Sign petition: https://is.qd/obNKS3)
This is essential not only for Zohra but also for residents who are elderly, with medical conditions and families with baby prams. The absence of such lifts not only cause great inconvenience but, more importantly, may endanger the health and safety of the residents.
Many have appealed to their MPs and the various authorities to take action have been in vain.
The SDP stands in solidarity with Zohra and the other residents of Blks 115 and 119. We hope you will too. Please sign the petition here:
