年长者称申请领公积金遭拒引当局关注 徐顺全冀真诚施援莫要选前“作秀”

生病无法工作,年届60岁年长者声称申请拿出部分公积金积蓄遭拒,民主党秘书长徐顺全将他们的遭遇分享在脸书。对此中央公积金局致函后者询问详情,表示有意跟进。

对此徐顺全回函公积金局,指出希望当局对于帮助那些有困难的国人是真诚的,而不是因为临近选举才做出的“公关行为”,试图缓解人民对公积金议题的愤怒。

事缘本月13日,民主党走访武吉巴督选区。一名年长者向该党申诉,由于病痛已两年无法工作,生活情况艰巨,只得致函公积金局申请释出他的部分积蓄糊口。不过他指被当局拒绝,只好转而向慈善团体求助。

另一年长者申诉自己有24万7000元的公积金储蓄,但无法拿出来,只好继续工作。

有关贴文似乎引起公积金局注意,并致函民主党要求提供相关年长者的联络信息,以让该局跟进此事。

根据民主党在官网公开的资料,该局在信函指出,每年接到近200万来自会员透过信函、电邮、电话等方式的申请和询问,而向当局寻求协助的最直接方式,仍是前往公积金局的五大服务中心,或拨电及致函当局。

引述已故杜进才博士言论

对此,徐顺全亲自回函公积金局,重申公积金是雇员们努力半生的积蓄,拒绝释回给他们是不道德的,也不应违背55岁即归还公积金的承诺。

他引述已故前副总理杜进才博士,在1984年于国会传达的信息:

议长先生,我想基本原则已经背离。此基本原则是,公积金实则如定期存款,或借给政府之贷款,借款者理应能在年届55岁时,如期取回。假设我在商业银行存下这笔款项,到期时我去银行要提出来,银行经理却告诉我:“对不起杜博士,请明年再来”,银行恐怕要面对挤兑!简言之,公积金局已失去其信誉和管理能力。

“或许你有所误会,正是因为他们向贵局作出申诉遭拒,他们才会来找我们,而如今贵局想与他们联系以了解详情,令人难以置信。”

徐顺全也指出,如当局是真心诚意处理此事,他建议当局不妨见见这两位老人家,以及其他也有归还公积金诉求的民众。如当局同意,该党成员也准备好联系他们和可协调安排会面。
