Hri Kumar organised a CPF forum with an aim to explain how the CPF works.
However, he is unable to answer many questions. A 76-year old lady tries to ask a question about why she could not be withdrawing her CPF because the government has prevented her from doing so, and Hri can only reply that "that's a good question, we will take that into consideration".
The worst part is, the emcee of the event, a bald burly guy, appears to try to use physical force on the elderly lady. He (wearing the grey shirt) approaches her in an intimidating way, occupies her position at the microphone and puts his arm on her arm to appear to forcibly shift her away.
The plucky 76-year old lady firmly stands her ground and replies, "you don't have to do that" twice. This makes the bald man back off.

However, shortly after, another man in a green shirt appears to also want to use physical means to end the lady's speech.
Two big men ganging up in a display of thug-like actions on a lady more than twice their age?
Shameless and idiotic.

Organises a CPF event without bringing a CPF representative, and uses physical intimidation tactics |
CPF is the government-instituted compulsory retirement fund in Singapore. However, there have been grouses by many citizens of late because of the high sum required before withdrawal is allowed (~S$150,000) and the low-interest rate (~2.5-4%). Many developed and even developing countries have higher interest rates (~6%) and easier withdrawal rules.
Overall Stupid Rating:
DOUCHEBAG LEVEL: 4 - Harmless but annoying
