会员欲提存款付女儿学费遭拒 公积金局为解答投诉疲于奔命

最近中央公积金局有点忙,忙着回答在网络上被网民们疯传的各种提问。 先是有脸书用户Desmond Chua于21日在脸书申诉,会员退休金户口(Retirement Account)中一半的资金被转入公积金终身计划(CPF Life Plan)中,且在过世后无法享有利息,非常不公平。 再来,是民众林国良(译音)投诉无法提1万5000元公积金存款,为女儿还大专学费。 Desmond Chua说,55岁后,公积金局将他账户中的7万7500元转入公积金终身入息标准计划(CPF LIFE Standard Plan)中,留下另外七万余元在他的退休户口。…

李显扬一家出席“粉红点”集会

步入第11个年头的同性恋平权活动“粉红点”(Pink Dot)集会今日(29日)下午5时在芳林公园举行。而主办当局脸书专页则分享,总理弟弟李显扬一家一同出席活动的合照。 李显扬儿子李桓武与伴侣Heng Yirui医生,刚在上月24日于南非开普敦结婚,引来国内外各界人士瞩目。 而在今日的“粉红点”活动,李桓武和伴侣,父亲李显扬、母亲林学芬以及Heng Yirui医生父母都到场出席,为活动增添亮点。 大多网民留言较为正面,除了表达祝福之外,一些性少数群体也感谢李显扬一家的出席,认为这是最实际的支持,具有重大意义,也意味着家庭成员间也能展现包容态度。 早在去年7月,李桓武就公开在脸书和伴侣合照,并表态支持第10届“粉红点”活动: 早前,总理李显龙曾表示,刑事法典377A条“”仍“将保留在法律中一段时期”,但不代表新加坡会将性少数族群(LGBTQ)边缘化,犹如刑法第377A条并不阻止粉红点每年的聚会。 不过,也有许多性少数群体和性别平权人士仍呼吁,应该先废除377A条文,并且多聆听他们的意见,才可能保障该群体平等权益、能受本地社会的接纳和免受歧视。 根据我国刑事法典第377A节条文,男性同性性行为属犯罪行为,一旦罪名成立可被判监禁长达两年。 不过,对于同性恋者,已故建国总理李光耀生前也曾表明不同意见。…
