I understand that. You have made your point. However, I want you to think of those who only have $150,000 in their accounts after so many years of work. What if it's paid out at 55 and all gone by 65? What happens then?

So those who have $150,000 or less can now withdraw the whole lot at 55 and there's a 30% gratuity so that's $195,000 in total if you had $150,000.
You're 55 which is the restored retirement age courtesy of PAP or the new government. You estimate you're going to live till 85... that's 30 years. You now have $195,000 in the bank. How are you going to budget for your retirement?
If you draw $10,000 per year [$833 per month] of the above sum at 3% return, it will last 29 years so at 84, you have nothing left.
Why at 3 percent return?

If i am the guy with 150k my answer will be "it is none of your fucking business, i do what i want with my money and i die my problem"
1) Do a severe change of the ministerial pay scale and cut their pay to a reasonable sum.. instead of what it is today. That will save us taxpayers one whole big bundle of money.
Imagine you put $150,000 in bank, say a 5 years Fixed Deposit. Once the tenure matures and you go to bank to withdraw the principal and interest. You are then told by the bank officer you can't do that since you can't 'handle' the money. The bank then forced you to purchase their annuity with your money as it is "for your own good".
This whole thing. It doesn't make sense.
We should be accountable for our own actions, by 55-65, they must be adults not kids, unless they regress & is in early stages of dementia!!...they take the money, they squander...it should be right that they suffer for what they have done..
The whole point is....do not hold people's money, whatever the intention are good or noble...it is still people's money, my money. The road to hell is paved with good intentions...
I do not believe in any government to hold on to their people's savings, they should be returned...whatever they do with it...they are responsible, why be a nanny to people. I personally do not want a many to my hard earned saved money..
Holding on....gives people a perception that, they are not honest with what is given to them....after all, they are not that dishonest....just return the money...

I work hard, BLOOD SWEAT & TEARS for 30 plus years to reach 55 years or whichever come first, whatever money I have saved in my CPF is my money...when I retire...I want that money, I do not need a nanny to look after my money, nor do I trust a government, who MAY squander all my money....
All money in CPF must be returned to the nearest 0.1cent no more no less...what I do with my money..squander it that is my business..what right has it for a government or anybody to set restrictions on my savings..period.
