CPF Withdrawal Age and Retirement Sum (previously known as Minimum Sum, name change due to negative connotation) have been repeatedly raised by PM Lee Hsien Loong with his abuse of power in Parliament.
Retirement Sum today is S$166,000 – doubled that of 2003’s S$80,000. Withdrawal Age is now 65 years old, with plans to increase to 71 years old. Corrupted Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong also depressed CPF interest rate to 2.5% on the CPF Ordinary Account to lessen the burden on GIC and Temasek Holdings.
