CPF members’ data safe despite website glitch

Service centre operating hours will be extended.

Despite a technical glitch that affected the availability of some Central Provident Fund (CPF) online services, the CPF board assured members that the technical issues did not affect any account information.

“The Board assures members that the technical issues affected only the website layer. There is no impact on the Board’s back-end systems and databases, which means that all data, including members’ account details, are completely unaffected,” CPF said in its statement.

On Monday, November 30, the Board uncovered technical issues arising from the recent website upgrade which caused a wrong display of information in a few isolated cases.
It then decided to take the system offline as a safeguard and to conduct a full review of the system to understand the root cause and resolve this.

Since Wednesday, December 2, selected e-services catering to 70 percent of all online transactions have been made available to members, who can check and print their account balances, contribution history and transaction history.

To facilitate urgent queries and transactions, the operating hours of the CPF service centres and Call Centre have been extended. From December 7, the queue ticket issuance timing will be further extended from 5pm to 6pm on weekdays at its five service centres at Bishan, Jurong, Robinson Road, Tampines and Woodlands.

Call Centre operating hours will also be further extended from 6pm to 7pm on weekdays.

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.
