林鼎:民间对政府未达成照顾乐龄群体职责感不满

人民之声党在周日(26日)到蔡厝港集选区吉丰购物中心、南洋区以及先驱单选区,拜访选民和进行派发面包活动。

人民之声党领袖林鼎表示,走访该选区遇到许多年长选民,许多基层草根感到不满,认为政府未达成照顾乐龄群体的职责。

“每五年临近大选时,行动党总会提出诸如建国一代、立国一代配套,但它们的目的只有一个:捞取选票。”

他说,一些选民甚至反映,年长者从建国一代配套中受惠不多,而他们还是得为每日生活艰苦奋斗。而平均起来国人从公积金入息仅领取约350元。

他也提及近期李光耀公共政策学院(LKYSPP)刚发表的报告,即一名单身年长者每月需至少1379元才足以维持基本生活;至于65岁以上夫妇也至少需要2350元。

“那么年长者要怎么依靠如此低的公积金入息来维持生活?你不能怪他们要抨击政府政策失策!”

与此同时,林鼎也强调人民之声的理念,即要改革新加坡,而不是滥竽充数政党。他表示在两周后,该党将展开劳动者对话会,和立国一代、建国一代和千禧一代等对话,并将出台该党对就业政策的倡议。

“已经有许多优渥薪资工作,转移到外籍人士手上,行动党政府认为国人如果没有工作该如何养活家人?”

此外,他在拜访南洋区时,也指当地选民非议公积金领取入息年龄延迟到70岁,而且对于该区议员余家兴在国会赞同上述政策感到惊讶和愤怒。

余家兴是在今年一月国会在国会表示,认同公积金局当前把自动领取入息年龄定在70岁的做法。当时他认为,随着再就业年龄已经提高到67岁,让民众延迟入息很合理。“会员可以选择在65岁就领入息。但是如果65岁就自动给付,但是如果那时他们还继续工作,就违背了退休金为保障退休生活的目的。”
