Clause 38

Rules for the maintenance of the Municipal Provident Fund made under section 12 of the Local Government Integration Act [Cap. 166] shall be binding upon the Authority and its employees who were members of the Municipal Provident Fund immediately before the appointed day.

Until other provision is made, the Municipal (Provident Fund) Rules 1956 [G.N. No. S 179/56] shall continue to apply to every person transferred to the service of the Authority who, immediately before the appointed day was a member of the Municipal Provident Fund, in the like manner as those Rules applied to such person immediately before the appointed day, and every reference to service or employment with the City Council in those Rules shall be construed as a reference to service or employment with the Authority in respect of such person.

Until other provision is made, the provisions of the Municipal (Provident Fund) Rules 1956 [G.N. No. S 179/56] requiring the City Council to make payments into the Municipal Provident Fund shall apply to the Authority and be construed as provisions requiring the Authority to make payments into that Fund in respect of every person transferred to the service of the Authority who is a member of the Fund.

Persons who have been transferred to the service of the Authority may count their previous service in the Singapore Improvement Trust, the Housing and Development Board, the former Authority, the Planning Department or the Research and Statistics Unit and their previous membership of the Municipal Provident Fund and their contributions to that Fund for the purpose of determining the benefits to which they become entitled under this section.
