Classic example of a "rich" Singaporean but with extreme cash flow problems.

Can buy HDB flat with $67,000?

 

[Leongsam]

Had he been allowed to withdraw all his CPF he would have lost his home AND his $67,000. Thank goodness the minimum sum rule has been implemented to save people like him from himself.

 

[shittypore]

Don't need to buy, just sleep at CC or rent a hdb no room flat.

Unlike Lim Sweet Say, he won't feel happy every time he reads his CPF statement.

Thanks to CPF, this sinkie will have $400+ a month for many many years, ensuring that he would not starve to death. PAP is farsighted!

I fully agree with you. It would be great if Sinkies knew how to manage their finances but sadly 99% don't have a clue. That is why the PAP has to adopt policies that prevent Singaporeans from squandering their wealth.

Hopefully the influx of foreigners will lift the overall IQ of the country and the next generation of Singaporeans should be more astute when it comes to saving and investing.

He would be a lot more miserable had he been allowed to withdraw all his funds because his CPF account would be a big fat $0.00

 

[Leepotism]

It's better for a person to spend his money and die than to die not spending his money.

 

[Buckethead]

Hopefully his Sgd425 monthly does not include the pioneer generation package of Sgd600 quarterly...

...Swee Say feels so rich every time he reads his cpf statement..........wow

He should spend all of his S$425 each month on Singapore Pools....

 

[eatshitndie]

He should spend all of his S$425 each month on Singapore Pools....

can get a “tug” at a day spa in geylang for less than $69 a shot for about 6.9 times.

So this is the meaning of poor not disadvantaged or left behind ?
Same as TCJ said picking cardboards is for exercise ?
Thank you again to the 70% who voted for the million dollars highest salaried ministers ever

One cannot complain when one never contribute to cpf when he is young and now expect the state to feed him.

Is it true that Toothpick Lim can read?

In Sinkieland foreigners are number one. Sinkies can go and die.

Eat inside, support outside. That's the PAP Way. They are worse than traitors.
