Singapore Grants Citizens Permission to Spend MediSave Funds Only After Clinical Death

The Ministry of Health has finally loosened the shackles on MediSave, announcing that Singaporeans can now use their own money for medical treatments, provided they are currently undergoing spontaneous combustion or have been legally dead for forty-eight hours.

The new "Flexi-MediSave-If-You-Die" scheme aims to ensure that citizens do not recklessly waste their hard-earned savings on frivolous luxuries like "antibiotics" or "basic physiotherapy."

“We must guard against the buffet syndrome,” explained a spokesperson, while clutching a bag of tax-payer-funded coins. “If we let you pay for a simple flu jab now, you won't have enough to pay the interest on your own cooling locker in 2085.”

Uncle Teck, 74, was unimpressed. “Siao liao! My account got six figures but I go polyclinic still must pay cash. They think my MediSave is high-score in Space Invaders is it? Wait until I mati then can use, by then use for what? Buy 4D for my ghost ah?”
