一 | Colombo, Oct 21 (UNI) Paddy stocks worth billions of rupees in storage facilities owned by the Paddy Marketing Board (PMB) have vanished during the last decade in Sri Lanka, reports by the Auditor General have revealed.
The Island newspaper on Friday quoted a senior PMB officer as saying that about 20 per cent of total paddy stored in the last decade have disappeared.
The Auditor General has also found that the financial reports of the PMB have been consistently unreliable and that the institution has not taken a physical stock of the paddy held in their storage units.
The Auditor General’s reports state that the weight of the paddy collected from the farmers might drop while in storage due to the loss of moisture in the paddy during the storage period, damage due to insects and other reasons, the daily said.
Even after taking these factors into consideration, there was no way of explaining how about 20 per cent of the total stock vanished, an unnamed senior officer was quoted as saying.
The Auditor General’s reports have also revealed that Ministers sold the PMB paddy to their henchmen below the purchase prices.
The PMB management had not made any attempts to recover the cost over the years.
PMD Chairman Buddhika Iddamalgoda said that he had been appointed only three weeks earlier. There are 21 Auditor General’s reports on the PMD and he would go through all reports, he said.
“We have purchased paddy amounting to 810 million rupees this season. We have 7,070 tonnes and we expect to make Rs 2 billion by selling them. I agree that we need to take a physical stock of what is in our stores,” he said.
UNI MR。 （新加坡讯）新加坡中央公积局已关闭非公民和非永久居民的公积金户头，呼吁仍有存款者尽快前来办理提款手续。所有非新加坡公民和非永久居民的公积金户头从今年4月起已经自动关闭，但仍有许多人未领走存款。
二 | 该局发言人回复媒体询问时，并未透露尚未提款的非新加坡公民和非永久居民人数，以及共有多少存款。不过，据发言人说，其中约七成户头的公积金馀额少过5000新元，中位数为1500新元。这些待领存款目前仅有0.05%的利率。该局在去年3月宣布，公积金制度旨在协助公民和永久居民安心退休，因此约30万名非公民和非永久居民持有的户头会在今年4月起自动关闭。换言之，当局已提前一年通知，鼓励有存款者尽快采取行动。“虽然有更多的非公民和非永久居民前来将他们的公积金存款转入个人银行户头，但大多数人还没行动。”作为过渡措施，从今年4月1日起，这些未领的公积金存款不再享有现行公积金利率，而是以本地三大银行储蓄户头三个月的平均利率为准，即年利率0.05％。自2027年4月1日起，这些存款不再享有任何利息。至于处理有关提款申请需要多少时间，发言人说，这取决于申请方式，通常介于12周至18周。马来西亚公民若记得自己的公积金户头号码，可上网填写表格。
三 | 一旦申请获批准，款项将以支票形式发出。当事人也可亲身到公积金柜台办理；如果人在国外，则可以邮件方式，将申请表格和证明文件寄给当局。在1987年之前，新加坡所有雇员，不论是不是公民或永久居民，都须缴交公积金。1987年后，持工作证的非公民及非永久居民，可自愿缴交。在1995年至2002年，所有在新加坡工作、持各类工作证件的非公民和非永久居民，都不必缴公积金，不过可自愿填补公积金户头。
四 | 2003年起，当局不再允许非公民和非永久居民填补公积金。马来西亚公民吴杜媚（56岁，家庭主妇）1980年代中期曾在新加坡的工厂工作近10年，返马定居后超过20年没有处理新加坡公积金存款。
五 | 她上个月在孩子的陪同下，从森美兰来到新加坡公积金局柜台申请提款，目前还在等待当局批准转帐。“我去年就知道户头要关闭，但由于家庭因素，最近才有空处理。新加坡向来有效率，我已交上资料，相信很快就会有消息。
六 | ”马来西亚霹雳州的郭姓自雇者（44岁）25年前曾在新加坡工作。他说，当年缴交了公积金但金额不多，且时间久远，因此已忘了公积金户头号码。
七 | 他到最近才知道新加坡公积金户头已关闭，存款不再享有和普通会员一样的利率。
八 | 他也说，将想办法找出户头资料和确定馀额后，再决定怎么做。非新加坡公民和非永久居民如果要查询有关公积金户头关闭的详情，可浏览cpf.gov.sg/AccountClosure，或致电+656776 6776。
