Well written counter comment on Annuity. SG

[Gadgeter]

Come the next election, same thing happen all over again. Rem one joker just say "Politics is not a career, it is a service" wor. What a highly paid service it is.

 

We shall see when they pass the annunity law and see the public outroar (hopefully). Dun u find that nowadays newspaper and media are toking abt how u can work till old age, how to lead a meaningful life after retirement etc......... It seem whenever govt propose anything, the media will follow up w all those positive news regarding govt proposal..........

 

am not suppose to discuss political issue in here.

 

Just for tots, did the person who preach, practice it? just take a look at the retirement age for those gahmen sector. Was it extended?

 

perhaps it was only meant for the few selected elite ones? Well, I may be wrong as I do not draw my salary nor allowance from them.

Annuities: It's risk-sharing among all

So why are Singaporeans unhappy: It's a matter of perception, lack of knowledge and discontent

[Gadgeter]

you put 'us' here, but doesn't mean 'we' need to look after everything for you. you should be mature/wise to have it well plan...

[Freestylers09]

you should be mature/wise to have it well plan

[Gadgeter]

well, sure got a lot of elite read thru the artical before it was 'announced'.. I'm not a elite, therefore, more prompt for error.

If i am the "you" you mentioned, i wont be so TL cos it is my karma. Worst case is i am not the "you" in your reply

[Gadgeter]

The 'you' mentioned is not referring to you, but the 'you' that announced the changes.

Read between the lines, he is saying if you are unhappy, you are not perceiving it correctly, lack knowledge and discontented (with life?)

[Kingcopa]

so the you is who?

[Wt_know]

and you have to leave before the money is used to buy annuity ?

 

One way is to be a Quitter.. then take out everything that belong to u..provided its not cannibalised

[Snookium]

Y cant they pass the law on this, they are the government. IR also approved despite all those protest.

 

GIC doing well.......... we also need to pay for those mistakes they make. UNSW, SHINCORP blah blah blah

 

But all along all these it does not affect the peasant much till this time, it had tested every mother son peasant loyalty / hatred to the limit.

I heard there is an event on the 8 sept regarding the annuity.... Anyone know abt it??? can tell me more?
