According to a recent report , many Singaporeans have expressed tremendous stress and anxiety over the CPF Board's threat to sue them for not having made sufficient contribution to their own Medisave accounts.
To quote the report,
When he told the CPF Board that it was pointless for him to contribute to Medisave even if he could afford to, because he gets free medical treatment, he was told that he could use his Medisave for his wife.
When he told them that his wife was also a civil service pensioner with free medical benefits, he was told that he could use it for his children.
When he told them that he has no children, he was told that it was required by law to contribute to Medisave.
Perhaps a more practical use for Medisave for this man is to pay for psychiatric treatment should it be necessitated.
