“This office would like to state and clarify to the public that the accusations are totally baseless, as his pension process was completed and finalised when his pension order was collected at PHQ on 08/08/2022. His GPF and Leave Encashment were deposited into his account on 03/10/2022 and 28/03/2022, respectively; thus, he had received all his pension benefits by October 2022,” the statement read.
