The CPF Board has just used SMS to issue
one of the most cynical lies I have ever received from a government body.
I subscribe to the MyeCitizen service that
sends an SMS when I receive a contribution to my CPF account. The SMS contains the date and amount
deposited. With the frequent changes to
CPF contribution rates, different age bands, variable contribution dates by the
employer, and changes in income, these alerts are useful and welcome.
What arrived this month was the
following:
“From MyeCitizen: This SMS service will be enhanced with effect from 15 Aug 2012. We will inform you if your CPF contribution
was not paid.”
What it means is that they are no longer
going to send an alert when deposits are made, just if they are not made.
Have we fallen so far as a society that a
government department announcing a service cut uses the word “enhanced”?
How stupid do civil servants think the
people paying their salaries are?
