    Paying Tribute to Mr Liew Heng San's efforts at CPF Board
  3. Under Mr Liew's leadership, CPF Board successfully implemented several major policy changes to improve the overall retirement adequacy of CPF members. These included enhancing CPF returns with an extra interest of 1% for the first $60,000 of CPF savings, helping members to stretch their CPF savings by deferring their draw down age, and introducing CPF LIFE – a national annuity scheme which allows members to enjoy a lifelong income.
  4. During his term, Mr Liew also made significant improvements to the CPF Board's organisational capabilities and services to the public. These included building a member information repository system to provide easy access to CPF employees to enable them to provide personalised service (known as iCARE), designated customer service counters to serve members approaching 55 (Club 55), and the deployment of mobile ambassadors to provide value-added, face-to-face service for the elderly, handicapped and the homebound.
  5. During Mr Liew's appointment as CEO, the CPF Board was honoured with the United Nations Public Service Award for the effective and responsive public administration of the Progress Package (PP) and Workfare Bonus Scheme, a Government surplus sharing scheme in 2007. In 2009 and 2010, he led the Board to win the prestigious Service Excellence Award and the Public Service Premier Award respectively.
  6. The Manpower Ministry deeply appreciates Mr Liew's valuable contributions to the CPF Board over the past five years, and wishes Mr Liew all the best for his future endeavours.
