Tak Boleh Tahan - CASE can SDP cannot.

I'm grateful to Andrew Loh of onlinecitizen for posting the latest on the "Tak Boleh Tahan" World Consumers' Rights Day protest.


Of all the placards carried, I can relate to the above most. O$P$. Unlock it and give it back to the rightful owners!

My frustration with CPF and arrogant mintsters started here. After my enquiry on why I can't use the $30,000 locked in my Medisave for my healthcare, they now tell me I can use my Medisave for outpatient treatment on the following conditions:

For every bill, I must
1. Pay a cash sum of $30 first (Deductible)
2. Pay another 15% of balance of bill ( Co-Insurance)
3. Maximum withdrawal of $300 per year.

What eats me and prevent me from improving my cardiac condition :( is that everytime I go get my statins, ace inhibitors, beta blockers and blood thinners, I need to pay an Administration Fee of $3 plus to the Extortionists. Who's bloody money is it anyway?

With clever legislations, the extortionists forced me to surrender my money to them. Now they tax me for using my owned hard earn money when I need to buy drugs and see doctors!

Sorry I digressed. Back to World Consumers' Rights Day. From the video, I can empathise with the poor cop. I guess it tough to be arrowed into this particular duty. Or are the perks and pay worth the ignominy?

I wonder the mainstream media will touch on the exciting news today. Hey, they show them when it happenes in Malaysia, Burma and now even in Tibet. First world Singapore must catch up too! Maybe some coverage with video like above from CNN may bring some mainstream media credibility so badly needed to improve our 141th position.

It'll be interesting to see the 'legal' protest by CASE tomorrow.

Definitely not painfully accurate placards as these.
