Money for Nothing But Heartache & Shame for Free

WANTED!
$4,000,000 REWARD

Yes, 4 million dollars for three of the above.

From Marc Lim of ST of 1 Sept 2008 "Silver lining in Gao Ning case", I learned that that's what we paid to win the table tennis silver medals!

Every time I asked the hospital (or CPF) not to charge me the administrative fee of $3.47 for the withdrawal of my hard earned Medisave for my medicine and quarterly medical check-up after my heart attack, they tell me they cannot help me. Their hands are tied. But they can afford to spend $4,000,000 to buy the medals above.

[For the uninitiated, though My Medisave is My blood and sweat money saved over many years, they still insist that it's not mine to use even after I suffered a heart attack and not earning much income now. They charge me an admin fee for using my own money even when I did not want them to keep my money in the first place. When I was I kid in the 50's & 60's I had to pay protection money to gangsters for my safety. Now this!]

Pardon my generalisation but they are the same. CPF; Ministry of Health; Ministry of Youth Community Development & Sports; IRS; Ministry Home Affairs; they are all tentacles of the government. The frustration and anger arising from such blatant spending for their false pride and ego and their neglect of the masses (especially the poor) and, of course, their greed can be the cause of another heart attack for me. Yes, the Medisave thing is really eating me up!

I have learned enough that stress is one of few factors that can degenerate health. With such silliness/cleverness from the government, I won't be surprised that more Singaporeans will end up with heart attack and other diseases.

Talking about silliness, please read about the "thousands that throng the park yesterday for PAP carnival" when WP sucks thumb with their request. The post by BothSidesOfTheJohorStraits with Hokien expletives over the latest "gracious" act of the government is another must read!

I don't blame him for getting mad and with his KNNMCCB outburst (which doctors recommend to prevent stress), I'm sure he'd be much lightened up and prevent himself a heart attack.

First ping pong fiasco, then Health minister's facts fiasco and now bicycle carnival fiasco.

When will they ever learn?
