This is to take into consideration inflation. However, there could be resistance to an idea like this although it makes financial sense. To have more in future, having less now helps.AK71https://www.blogger.com/profile/16832145412062954289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7944902213075756335.post-34342821087423024132014-07-23T16:09:39.309+08:002014-07-23T16:09:39.309+08:00Hi AK,

The reason is that I am OK not to withdraw anything from my CPF when I turn 55 and wait until 65 (current Draw Down Age) to start receive the monthly payout from AlexLerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11405142556865279600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7944902213075756335.post-13508497606129842722014-07-23T14:50:06.446+08:002014-07-23T14:50:06.446+08:00Hi Komatineni,

Of course, I will share my views as well.

The govt could be more discerning .
