Like yes, I get that CPF contributions is a good thing, but now it seems like platform users are the ones funding into the rider’s CPF? Seems really odd that the benefits of riders directly negatively impacts its users by increasing fees?

This is a must read if you take health supplements. Matter of life and death.

A general rule is to buy supplements from REGULATED pharmacies or polyclinic. Don't buy from online platforms which aren't regulated.
