The Ministry of Health has pioneered a revolutionary method of fiscal extraction that transcends the mortal coil.

Starting Friday, MediSave deductions will no longer be limited to the mundane salaries of the living.

New "Ethereal Contribution" laws ensure the state can garnish your soul's wages directly from the spirit realm.

"Eh, last time I thought die already can escape, then now gahmen say must top-up from my coffin money, damn sian lah!" said local resident Lim Ah Hock.

The government insists this ensures the afterlife remains "fiscally sustainable" for all deceased patriots.

If you fail to meet your Basic Healthcare Sum in the heavens, you will be promptly deported back to Yishun.

This ensures that even the dead contribute to the nation’s world-class, yet suspiciously expensive, medical system.

Citizens are advised to start hoarding "hell bank notes" to offset the inevitable GST on divine healing.
