Your CPF

Ok first things first. I am not singaporean I am Australian but my father is from Singapore and came here in the 1960s and I still have a lot of family there etc.

I am curious as to whether your CPF is a ponzu scheme operated by the garment under another guise. You can use it to buy a house/flat that is the supply and price of which is controlled by them.

Let's say your garment builds 800 units. It owns the land so no cost. It pays bangladeshis, pianos etc to build them and they get paid but also pay tax to sing garment. So even the labour cost part of it returns to garment. If tax is 20% for every 1,000 the garment is truly only paying 800.

Then a singaporean buys the flat at market price, say 800k using cpf as deposit. Bank pays the remainder to sing garment for mortgage and worker has depleted their cpf.

Is the cpf and Singapore garment creating a housing bubble. It is potentially worse than the us crisis is it not ? If the population ages, everyone draws down their cpf and contributions fall then what ??

Mate, we are generous people, the saying goes, "charity begins at home", CPF is a donation, we don't expect to see much of it when we retires. That is why we are such charitable people, none can be found on this planet called EARTH!.

CPF is nothing more than a well-disguised hidden taxation to sap off the disposable income off your monthly paycheck.

It's not really a pension/insurance scheme for one's retirement. Had it been so, there wouldn't be any need to force Sinkies to buy into the annuity scheme.

That's probably part of the reason why the PAP govt is adamant that 1) Sinkies delay their retirement, and 2) Sinkies produce more babies. A Ponzi scheme requires a steady supply of new suckers to prop the entire system up. Just like how a MLM needs fresh new downlines to continue operating.

CPF is a loan from you to them whereby the terms of repayment and interest rate are unilaterally determined by them.

It's not a tax so far, the senior chaps in this forum can confirm that they did get some of their money back at the "official time".
But they can and will determine how much you get back and when. It's a loan where the borrower is the ahlong and not the lender.

The fact that you can buy (99 year leasehold) flats that are sold by the gahment (better ??) makes this look some sort of semi legitimized rort no ??? What a lubang hey .... Pay me every week and I'll let you take out when you want so long as you use it to buy a property I am selling that I built on my land using labourers who paid taxes to me to work on my project.

Surely if you're birthrate or population does not increase judgement day for the cpf gets closer and closer ?

Okay, as far as I am concerned, this CPF has served me well. I have no quarrels with it. Many of my friends in fact did not withdraw their CPF at 55. They kept their money there and earn 4% interest!!!! Those who have reached 62, had a monthly withdrawal which they used as spare cash. The balance of their money is still kept in the CPF and they are still earning interest.

I don't see why people are making so much noise about our CPF. Many in fact have no money to withdraw when they reach 55.

Please don't bash me okay. I am just stating my views here. CPF is good for me.Period.
