Hundreds gather at Hong Lim Park for #ReturnOurCPF (Medishield Life) protest

Several hundred people gathered at Hong Lim Park on Saturday afternoon for the second “Return Our CPF” protest, a little over a month after the first event. This time, organisers aimed to highlight “inadequate measures” in Singapore’s healthcare programme, as well as what they said were loopholes in the planned MediShield Life scheme. Some of the speakers included former presidential candidate Tan Kin Lian, civil rights activist Vincent Wijeysingha, Reform Party secretary-general Kenneth Jeyaretnam, Singapore Democratic Party treasurer Chong Wai Fung, and bloggers Leong Sze Hian, Han Hui Hui and Roy Ngerng.
