A bus caught fire at the junction of Portsdown Road and one-north Gateway earlier this morning (24 Feb).

According to CNA, the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) said that it responded to the fire at about 9.15am.

The blaze was put out using one water jet and one person was assessed by an SCDF paramedic at the scene, it added.

CNA reported that an eye-witness claimed that no passengers were seen on board at the time of the inferno.

Several images shared by Reddit users show thick smoke from the bus, followed by its charred state after the flames were doused.

The cause of the fire is under investigation.

2016年55岁公积金会员 四成未达全额退休储蓄条件

根据人力资源部部长杨莉明在国会书面回答,提供数据显示,在2016年的同期会员,有53巴仙会员符合全额退休储蓄,即16万6千元存款的条件。 在这群体中,有半数人在公积金普通和特别户口都存有盈余。据了解,他们无意立即动用这笔存款,或透过继续储蓄,从无风险利息受惠。 不过相对地,这也意味着,其余有多达47巴仙公积金会员,在2016年年届55岁,仍无法达到全额退休储蓄金额最低存款额的条件。 截至2017年底,有42巴仙超过55岁的会员即便符合最低存款额,但仍决定不提取公积金存款。 “这包括在普通和特别户口可无条件提取的首5千元储蓄,全额退休储蓄以及可用房产抵押领取的基础退休存款。”至于决定提款的多数群体,其中有6成人士领走5千新元。 杨部长是针对宏茂桥集选区国会议员颜添宝的提问,作书面回答。颜添宝在国会提问,有多少新加坡公民和永久居民,在55岁时未申请提出5千元或更多的公积金储蓄;多少会员积蓄低于公积金规定的最低储蓄额;以及过去10-20年,多少永久居民已提取和关闭公积金户口。 我们都知道,公积金有三大户口:普通户口(Ordinary Account)、特别户口(Special Account)和医疗户口(Medisave)。 年届55岁,普通和特别户口存款将转移到退休户口,以便在65岁那年可以开始领取每月入息。 55岁最低储蓄额 65岁后每月入息给付*…
