Dr Catherine Wu, former advisor to Millennium & Copthorne Hotels (M&C), has resigned from her position. Dr Wu was at the forefront of the recent high-profile City Developments Limited (CDL) boardroom battle between CDL executive chairman Kwek Leng Beng and his son, CDL CEO Sherman Kwek. Sherman Kwek had previously accused Dr Wu of «interfering in matters going well beyond her scope», adding that «she wields and exercises enormous influence». In a press release on Tuesday (March 4), Kwek Leng Beng said that M&C — the hotel arm of CDL — has received the «irrevocable resignation» of Dr Wu as an unpaid independent advisor, with immediate effect. «Now that Dr Wu has resigned, the CEO and his team of directors no longer have any continuing basis to make such corporate governance allegations about CDL and to justify his board coup,» said the CDL executive chairman.

Seniors living in private properties to receive up to 75% subsidy to install elder-friendly fittings

Seniors living in private properties will soon be entitled to receive subsidies of up to 75 per cent, with a cap of up to $1,200, when they outfit their homes with age-friendly features under the Enhancement for Active Seniors (Ease) programme - previously limited for HDB dwellers.  Seniors living in HDB flats currently receive up to 95 per cent subsidy to offset the cost of installing elderly-friendly fittings like grab bars and ramps under the programme. The extension of this Ease programme to those living in private properties is due to its strong support and positive feedback from HDB residents, said the Ministry of National Development (MND) in a press statement. More than 70,000 private property households with seniors will benefit from the subsidy, said National Development Minister Desmond Lee on Wednesday (March 5) as he laid out his ministry's spending plans in Parliament. «We will do more to improve the safety and mobility of seniors living in private properties, within their own home,» he said.

Annual value of up to $31k: Scheme for elderly to 'right-size' to HDB flats from private properties to be extended

More seniors who own private properties will be eligible for a scheme to supplement their retirement income when they move into a three-room or smaller HDB flat. Speaking in his ministry's Budget debate on Wednesday (March 5), National Development Minister Desmond Lee said that the Silver Housing Bonus (SHB) will be extended to include seniors who own a private property with an annual value up to $31,000. A property's annual value is the estimated rent a property can fetch in a year if rented out, and is determined based on market rents of comparable properties and other factors. The SHB scheme - launched in 2013 - currently provides a cash bonus of up to $30,000 for those aged 55 and above who sell an HDB flat or a private property with an annual value of less than $21,000. Lee said that from Dec 1, seniors whose private property has an annual value of between $21,000 and $31,000 will receive $10,000 if they «right-size» to a three-room flat. This amount will be pro-rated at $1 bonus for every $6 that seniors commit towards their CPF Retirement Account.
