SINGAPORE - The CPF Board responded to media reports on Thursday regarding financial assistance being rendered to Ms Sua Li Li, a single mother who was diagnosed with lupus and sought access to her CPF funds a month ago.
In response to queries from The Straits Times, Ms Sua said she was first diagnosed with lupus in 2011 and has suffered from photo-sensitivity, and chronic pain and fatigue, making it difficult for her to work. "Ideally all I want is a job I can do because it'll help my financial situation. I don't want my daughter going to school and starving herself because she's worried about expenses," she said.
The CPF Board's post on Thursday noted financial aid had been given Ms Sua's daughter, a student at Singapore Polytechnic.
