That’s unfair!: 1 out of 2 Singaporeans unhappy with CPF

But the richer ones couldn’t care less.

A recent survey by Blackbox research reveals that more than half of Singaporean citizens believe that the CPF system does not give them a fair return.

Among those surveyed, more HDB residents and lower-income earners expressed discontent with the CPF than those living in private housing who are also likely to earn more.

The current CPF debates affected government satisfaction, pulling the rate down by 7% from 72% in May to 65% in June.

This drop could have also been affected by the viral article of blogger Roy Ngerng, who said that there has been misappropriation of the Central Provident Fund. Of those surveyed, 52% were aware of the article.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
