The TikTok user, who goes by the username “dr.ishhaq.jay”, was also recently issued a correction direction for making a false claim about voting secrecy.

SINGAPORE: A man who had received a correction direction two days ago was issued with another one on Sunday , this time for making false claims over Central Provident Fund policies.

The man will be required to create a new TikTok post containing a correction notice which states that the TikTok post contains a false statement of fact, and provide a link to the government’s clarification. "This proportion includes members earning below the median income for those aged 55 years old in 2022 who have used their CPF savings to repay housing loans.

CPF members can apply before age 55 to have all or part of their ordinary account money retained in their ordinary account to pay for their housing loan, the article said. That is why when they sell their property, they have to refund to their own CPF account the total amount of CPF funds used for buying the flat, as well as the interest that would have been earned if not for the flat purchase.
