LABOUR chief Lim Swee Say on Tuesday rebutted criticisms that the Government should have cut the employers' Central Provident Fund contribution rate instead of having the Jobs Credit wage support scheme as a way to save jobs.

The latter would achieve more than a CPF cut, he said, and it would also strengthen the trust that now exists among the tripartite partners - the Government, workers, and employers.

THIS year, 200 families will stand to benefit from a new financial aid scheme introduced by OCBC Bank and NTUC First Campus.

AN OBSERVANT resident helped police arrest a man for fraudulant possession on Tuesday.

A Malaysian man, 22, was spotted around lunch-time loitering in the carpark of Blk 113 Jurong East by Mr Muhammad Nor Helmi, a resident.
