释义

名词

保证金或押金，一般也指参选人所需付的押金。

DEFINITION

Noun

A sum of money payable as a pledge or down payment. Commonly used to refer to the amount pledged by political candidates prior to elections.

由来
  • 按柜金与中国古代的“押柜”意思相近，指的是旧时向店家购买物品时须缴付保证金，并必须有证人(父亲或兄长)担保，以避免物品遗失或持货物窃逃。
  • 在新加坡也指参选的押金，据国会选举法(Parliamentary Elections Act)规定，候选人的得票率如果少于12.5%，按柜金将作废，并转交至政府统合基金(consolidated fund)。
ETYMOLOGY
  • The term “按柜金” is similar to the “guarantee pledge” used in ancient China. In the olden days, shopkeepers would ask for a guarantee payment when selling their wares, and also ask for a witness (usually the father or brother), in case the item went missing or the person ran away with the goods.
  • In Singapore, candidates who contest a General Election are required to pay an election deposit. According to the Parliamentary Elections Act, if the candidate garners less than 12.5% of the votes cast, the deposit is confiscated and transferred to the Government’s consolidated fund.
例句

选举法规定每名候选人须缴付1万4,500元的竞选按柜金，比2011年大选时的1万6,000元低。这笔数目是以国会议员前一年所领取的全年津贴的8%计算出来。(《联合早报》，26/8/2015)

SAMPLE SENTENCE
The Parliamentary Elections Act stipulates that every candidate in this year’s elections must pay a deposit of S$14,500. This is less than the S$16,000 required in the 2011 elections. The amount is derived from 8% of the total allowances received by a Member of Parliament in the previous year. (Lianhe Zaobao, 26/8/2015)
