I don't know if you would agree with me but I think the CPF Board has improved by leaps and bounds when it comes to communicating with CPF members.
I especially like the graphics they have produced to make things easier to understand.
Important or interesting information is clear at a glance when graphics are used well.
While waiting for the updated pie chart to be ready (see past pie charts: here), I will share this bar graph:
The total amount was slightly more than $600K at the end of 2014.
By the end of 2017, it was almost $800K!
The CPF is about the government helping us to help ourselves.
For most of us, this is as close to State welfare as we can ever get in Singapore.
The government offers help.
Let us not foolishly reject it.
For those of us who play the MMORPG "Neverwinter" and have explored Sharandar, this should sound familiar.
Bad AK! Bad AK!
The growth of my CPF savings is really stunning when we remind ourselves that a big chunk of that growth is made up of contributions from the government.

My CPF money forms a cornerstone in my retirement funding strategy.
Risk free and volatility free, it helps to give me peace of mind.
