Dr L, who is now 75 years old, wanted to use his Medisave to pay for hearing aids.
His request was rejected by CPF and Ministry of Health. The reason was that the Medisave is to be kept for medical expenses during his old age.
Dr. L said that he is a government pensioner and his life time medical expenses are paid by the government. He hardly use his Medisave savings. It has remained intact over the years.
As his is already 75, how much longer can be expect to live? He has approached his MP on this matter, but the MP is not able to get the CPF and MOH to be flexible.
We have a rigid and ridiculous system. Nobody wants to recognize a problem. they do not care about the reality of Dr. L's situation. They wanted to stick to the rules that do not apply to Dr. L.
When will some senior people, including the minister, step forward and recognize that the rule should be changed.
An example of a change is to allow the CPF member above (say) 65 years to withdraw a certain sum each year for any medical expenses that they find to be necessary. This may fall outside the current rigid rules.
Thank you for sharing such great information.
