篇2：Release CPF savings for hardship nee

Release CPF savings for hardship needs

By Peter Ong I believe more and more people today are crying out “money no enough.” Having “not enough money” to spend is but a small matter. What is more troubling is having no money to meet daily expenses. Imagine a family that is short on food and the basic necessities， and the breadwinner is compelled to turn to loan sharks for money. Could this happen in Singapore? I am afraid the answer is yes. And as the number of jobless increases， more and more families are likely to meet this fate. Not long ago， Mr Lim Swee Say， NTUC Deputy Secretary-General， projected that the rate of unemployment would rise to 4 per cent before the end of the year， and reach 7 per cent next year. Given a workforce of 1.8 million， the number of unemployed could exceed 120，000. Unemployment affects both the men and women， and the young and old. But the most vulnerable are those aged 40 and above. Likely to be the sole breadwinners， these middle-aged workers hail from white- and blue-collar jobs and different educational background. Generally， when women workers are retrenched， families get to lose one of their income earners. When young workers are laid off， most of them will just fall back on their parents for financial support. And when workers about to retire lose their jobs， they can dig into their CPF savings (once they reach withdrawal age) to tide them through. However， when men aged 40 and above are asked to quit， mos of them run into a dead end.Men aged 40 and above are most vulnerable because they are a favourite target for retrenchment. They are also likely to be shunned in any recruitment exercise because their salary is generally higher than young new recruits due to their longer length of service. Management realises that they could lower costs if they replace these older workers with younger but lower-salaried ones. Older workers are also likely to have greater financial commitments - such as car and mortgage loans， children still attending school and， for some， elderly parents to look after. A human resource manager from a cruise company told me recently that she detected a desperate sense of “hunger and thirst” when this category of workers showed up for job interviews. She said: “Most of them have been looking for jobs for several months. Some of them are even prepared to accept half of what they used to earn because they understand that， without any job， they would have no income. Even if they had some savings， these would be depleted in a few months' time.” Nevertheless， her company's stand is to recruit the most suitable candidate-not the person who is willing to work at the lowest pay-for the job. So， even

though she empathised with the candidates， she had to reject them. The manager's observations have not been off the mark. Very few Singaporeans have enough cash savings. If they lost their jobs， they would find themselves in a tight spot within a few months. Well， perhaps the salaried workers arenot to be blamed for being caught in this situation. Not too long ago， it was common social practice for Singaporeans to go for an overseas holiday at least once a year. For those with more cash， they would dream of owning a car or a house. There is an even greater number of Singaporeans who do not see the need to save because they are already contributing to the CPF. I， too， often heard Singaporeans complain that they found it difficult to save because of the high cost of living. So， when the economy suddenly took a turn for the worse， many Singaporeans were caught unprepared. Even economic analysts were feeling optimistic that “tomorrow will be better” just before July last year， when the financial crises hit the region. No matter what the cause， the current economic situation has led to the emergence of a large number of unemployed Singaporeans， who are becoming increasingly anxious not only because they have no jobs， but also because they have put their families in dire straits. What can be done? Some of them are prepared to “lower their social status” and sell their car and property. But prices have dropped. Worse still， it is difficult to find a buyer at this juncture. For HDB property owners， buying and selling of flats are further restricted by government regulations. Someone once told me that Singaporeans used to be “property-rich but cash-poor.” Today， they are equally poor in both aspects. Recently， the newspapers had reported that many Singaporeans tried to make ends meet by terminating their insurance policies， forgoing tuition classes for their children and even ending maids' contracts. But what about the other running household expenses-the daily meals， children's school fees， electricity bills and transport costs? I am sure no one will object if we suggest that something be done to help these financially-strapped families. The issue is: how do we help them? Unemployment subsidies? We have learnt from the experiences of other countries that this form of social welfare does not work. It not only puts a strain on th country's limited resources， but also does nothing to encourage the unemployed to look for a job. So we have to be steadfast against implementing such a measure. Lately， we have repeatedly heard a lot about structural unemployment and the government's and NTUC's efforts to encourage Singaporeans to train and re-train for new higher-skilled jobs. While these eff
