If you are thinking of topping up your EZ-Link card through the AXS stations or at DBS, OCBC ATMs, think again. An additional 20 cents would be charged for every top up at the places listed above.
According to the EZ-Link website, this fee was already implemented from the beginning of July. Before topping up their cards at the stations, a message will be shown on the screen informing consumers of the extra fee of 20 cents.
“Timely to implement fee”
EZ-Link had stated that the top up fee of 20 cents was ignored for a year and the costs were borne by them. This was then “extended to 4 years” to let consumers have “sufficient time” to “try out the service”.
EZ-Link further added that it was “timely to implement the fee given that there are other free top up channels available to consumers”.
Other Free Top Up Channels
It would be still free if consumers decide to top up their EZ-Link cards at places like the Add Value Machines and the General Ticketing Machines located in MRT stations and certain bus interchanges.
It would be free at Transit Link sales offices and at Top-up Machines at People’s Association Community Centres as well.

人力部将调高就业准证薪金门槛 各界忧“上有政策下有对策”

昨日(26日)人力部宣布,将进一步调整外籍雇员政策,包括提高S准证和就业准证薪金门槛。 人力部长杨莉明,在政府施政方针附录宣称,国人不论年龄、族群获性别,应获得公平就业机会。 但她也指出,外劳政策旨在协助新加坡经济增长、为国人创造更好就业机会。惟政府会定期检讨和调整。 综合本地政治人物、时评员和网民意见,尽管大家都欢迎上述举措,惟提醒“上有政策,下有对策”,必须提防雇主“走漏洞”,政府的机制理应有“街头智慧”,找出并严惩这些老练、迂回政府规定的雇主们。 其中人民党成员欧斯曼(Khan Osman Sulaiman)担忧,人力部上述举措只不过是回应民间愤怒的公关噱头。 “仅仅提升S准证和就业准证薪金门槛,无法保证强大的新加坡核心雇员团队,为本地人制造良好就业机会。” 本月初,人力部揭发47雇主招聘员工未公平对待新加坡人;30金融领域雇主聘请外籍PMET,大部分来自同一国家;再有退休银行家踢爆,一些大型、老牌外籍银行,倾向雇用外籍人士、排挤新加坡人才等,这些事件无不引起坊间哗然。 欧斯曼甚至直言,雇主懂得滥用、迂回就业准证薪金门槛,已是老生常谈。有些雇主甚至被发现,即使雇员的薪水是就业准证等级,但雇主仍能之后向雇员讨回薪资,或是实际给的薪资更少。 故此,若不愿去限制就业准证在本地劳动市场的比例,仍是治标不治本的。 一些网民担忧,一些雇主仍能透过“报大数”,同样高薪资聘请外籍人士,但与外籍雇员协商,领取较少薪资,不失为业界的“潜规则”…
