Forum: CPF to continue improving online nomination service
We thank Madam Yeow Kam Hoow for her feedback on the online nomination service (Make online process for CPF nominations more user-friendly, June 26) and have reached out to her to provide assistance.
CPF Board adopts a 'digital first, not digital only' approach. This means the board strives to make digital services, especially essential services, easy to use while making non-digital alternatives available for members who need them.
For certain high-risk transactions, such as online nominations, enhanced authentication is a necessary security safeguard to protect CPF members and their CPF transactions.
We recognise that a minority of members, such as Madam Yeow, may encounter challenges during facial authentication, and will work with our partners to improve its usability, while maintaining security standards.
Members who encounter issues with their facial authentication can call the Singpass helpdesk at +65 6335 3533 directly. Alternatively, members who remain unsuccessful despite multiple attempts can make an appointment and visit a CPF service centre for an in-person nomination. Members who are unable to visit a CPF service centre can call the CPF call centre at 1800-227-1188 for help.

Gold glitters as mistrust spreads
Gold has flooded into America since Mr Trump's election, prompting speculation that US government agencies might be stockpiling it. PHOTO ILLUSTRATION: PIXABAY A decade ago, I asked officials at the New York Federal Reserve if I could peek at their gold reserves. They refused point blank. The reason? Fed officials have long taken pride in having the world's biggest gold vault, dug 24m down into Manhattan's bedrock. But they prefer to keep it discreet, partly because many of the vault's 507,000 bars belong to countries such as Germany and Italy. Silence was literally golden.

The golden age for employers is ending
Popular discontent with mass immigration is rising, anti-immigrant parties are flourishing and mainstream parties are finally taking note., says the writer. PHOTO: AFP For as long as most of us can remember, business has been able to call on a ready supply of foreign workers. The giants of Silicon Valley, farmers and food processors, hotels and restaurants, house builders and megastores: All have dealt with labour shortages by recruiting immigrants. One result has been an astonishing demographic transformation: 16 per cent of the British population, 20 per cent of the Swedish population, 19 per cent of the German population and 14.3 per cent of the US population were born abroad.

Kremlin says Europe will feel the recoil from its 'illegal' sanctions on Russia

Pavel Bednyakov/Pool via REUTERS/File Photo Kremlin says Europe will feel the recoil from its 'illegal' sanctions on Russia MOSCOW - The Kremlin said in remarks published on Sunday that the tougher the sanctions imposed on Russia by Europe, the more painful the recoil would be for Europe's own economies as Russia had grown resistant to such "illegal" sanctions. Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022 triggered a wave of Western sanctions on Russia and it is by far the most sanctioned major economy in the world. The West said that it hoped its sanctions would force President Vladimir Putin to seek peace in Ukraine, and though the economy contracted in 2022, it grew in 2023 and 2024 at faster rates than the European Union. The European Commission on June 10 proposed a new round of sanctions against Russia, targeting Moscow's energy revenues, its banks and its military industry, though the United States has so far refused to toughen its own sanctions. Asked about remarks by Western European leaders including French President Emmanuel Macron that toughening sanctions would force Russia to negotiate an end to the war, the Kremlin said only logic and arguments could force Russia to negotiate. "The more serious the package of sanctions, which, I repeat, we consider illegal, the more serious will be the recoil from a gun to the shoulder. This is a double-edged sword," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told state television. Peskov told state television's top Kremlin correspondent, Pavel Zarubin, that he did not doubt the EU would impose further sanctions but that Russia had built up "resistance" to such sanctions. President Vladimir Putin said on Friday that any additional EU sanctions on Russia would simply hurt Europe more - and pointed out that Russia's economy grew at 4.3% in 2024 compared to euro zone growth of 0.9%.
