    There are inconsistencies in the withdrawal clauses at 65 years old and their rationale with the closure of CPF SA after 55 years old. CPF Board should sit down and study the policies well before executing a knee jerk reaction to CPF shielding.

    The Closure is a Sign of Correcting Abuses & Failures

    the guest speaker was doing a really good job explaining, and the lady host should learn to shut up instead of trying interrupt and pretend like she knows so much (which obviously she doesn't) and gave some wrong interpretation of what the guest was trying to express

    If only Angela would allow the guest speaker to talk, without interrupting his explanation of the SA closure with her needless input then its easier to understand the contents. she's just so disruptive

    Retirement planning is essential. Did you know that in certain regions, you need over a million dollars to retire comfortably?

    Indeed, it's quite a sum. I've been retired for three years now, and I'm only 46…. 0:02

    A good move to close that loophole in SA.

    Been watching some of these videos incl the above by CNA, Money Talks, but none are mentioning, how all these changes helping fellow Singaporean's living abroad? 1) S'porean's are not benefitting the special grants just because they're residing abroad, but we're S'poreans. So the govt don't NEED to give us these benefits? 2) How abt S'poreans who don't own any properties & residing abroad permanently? 3) At 55, all we can withdraw is 5k. How abt the usage of Medisave for all those living abroad and again for those who don't own any properties in S'pore & having a Medical Condition and /or life threatening and not able to work? We can only use it in S'pore? How is it right for a S'porean living abroad? Can CNA or any one shed some light here for the benefit of those 55 and above, living overseas? Thank you.

    Support the closure as does not bring more needy or financial not so savvy people to benefit but those who already can take care of themselves.
