Figures should serve as an alarm

If more require financial aid despite economic growth, job creation and wage increases

Letter from Leong Sze Hian

I REFER to the article “CDCs gear up for uncertain economic climate” (Aug 11), which stated that the five Community Development Councils saw 14,179 people seeking help in the second quarter, a 34-per-cent jump from the same period last year.

That more Singaporeans are seeking financial aid — despite good economic growth, job creation and wage increases — should serve as an alarm.

At this rate, the number seeking assistance this year would be more than the 55,600 last year and maybe the 62,300 in the 2009 recession year.

If we add those who apply for financial aid to the families already getting assistance, how many in total are receiving help now?

Last year, the CDCs approved 71 per cent of applications for financial aid, up from 67 per cent in 2009. How many families have ever applied, including the unsuccessful ones, since Comcare was introduced six years ago?

As it stands, 200,000 people have been helped by Comcare so far — it was said at the National Day Rally — which I feel is a fairly large proportion of the population to have ever been in financial difficulty.

So we should not be complacent as we attribute the pick-up in the second quarter to the enhanced income eligibility criteria of the two subsidy schemes for kindergarten and childcare fees.

Families do approach and apply for these schemes directly through the childcare centres, without going to the CDC. If they also go to the CDCs, it may mean they need other financial assistance as well.

Finally, I am puzzled that Central CDC is eeing more sign-ups for Cash Up (Cultivate a avings Habit), which was launched in April and gives needy families up to S$1,000 in atched savings if they apply money-saving tips learnt in financial literacy workshops.

I have been doing volunteer financial counselling for the needy for about a decade, and families who seek assistance do not generally have enough money to make ends meet.

For instance, SALT magazine (June 15) featured a couple with seven children who signed up for Cash Up.

The husband earns about S$800 monthly.

How many of such very low-income families who sign up will be able to save more in order to get the matched savings at the end of the nine-month programme?

GPC for Transport calls for more security audits on train operator SMRT

The Government Parliamentary Committee for Transport has called for more security audits on train operator SMRT.

This after it was hit by a second breach at its depots yesterday (Wed 17/8), following a similar incident at a different depot last May.

Joanne Chan has more.

A breach in the fence was discovered at the Bishan train depot.

A worker involved in the repairs said the breach happened near Sungei Kallang.

" You know the big long-kang (drain) there, stadium that side.

" (How big was the hole?) I think half metre by one metre. I think the man can go inside."

SMRT says it's been implementing enhanced security measures since late last year, including installing CCTVs and having more security patrols.

However, the latest incident occurred at a location where upgrading works to the security measures were " being scheduled" says SMRT.

Chairman of the Government Parliamentary Committee for Home Affairs and Law, Michael Palmer said the second break-in means SMRT is not trying hard enough and that " we're lucky the consequence of the breach is only graffiti."
He added that " a more serious accident is waiting to happen unless more serious and concerted security measures are implemented in a more timely manner" .

GPC Deputy Chair for Transport, Seng Han Thong, agrees.

" If any vandal can penetrate this way, they can do greater harm if they want to.

" We are really pressing SMRT to come up with the answer, why it happened and how can you ensure us that it won't happen again. And we really want the LTA to have stringent check, audit check on each measure and set a time line."

Singaporeans are also calling for SMRT to beef up security.

" They still have to learn from it and have to implement measures at all the depots instead of just one."

" They need to increase the number of patrols and have more security measures."

The Land Transport Authority also had strong words for SMRT, saying it will not hesitate to take the train operator to task if investigations showed that the operator did not comply with the necessary security standards.

Commuters, be mindful of your rights

Letter from Hanafiah Ali

LAST week, my colleague was travelling on SMRT Service No 187, in the direction of Bukit Panjang, when she smelt something burning and told the driver.

He pulled up at a bus stop and asked the passengers to alight and board the next bus. He also asked them to tap out their ez-link cards at the card reader.

When the next Service No 187 bus (plate number TIB 483Y) arrived, my colleague told the bus driver they were transferring from the bus that had apparently broken down.

The driver told them to tap in their cards unless they had a complimentary ticket slip, which my colleague insisted was not issued by the previous driver.

She believed that as there was a risk the bus might catch fire, the driver ushered the passengers out quickly. But, he should have at least informed the next bus driver.

I encountered such a scenario before, but the driver was more compassionate. As I understood it, if a bus is unable to complete its journey, commuters will not be charged further.

But my colleague incurred a $1.52 fare, for a journey that costs less than $1.

Other passengers may have paid more. If she were to claim from TransitLink, how would the validity of her case be verified?

In any case, I would urge other commuters to be mindful of their rights as consumers when using public transport.
