      Next time want to go JB old folks home, have to prepare RM150,000 so no need wheelchair/walking sticks in and out of Singapore and JB for another 10 years. But then I think if got this much RM150,000, why want to go old folk home in JB :?


      If no such amount, prepare wheelchair/walking stick as need to go in and out of JB every few months...

        While DPM Teo tries to clarify the pension scheme, he lets out that PAP ministers start collecting pensions at age 55 even in office. I don't know what to say....

          This is another thorny issue; we worked so hard for almost our whole life; we spent the bulk of our cpf on a roof overhead. We dont know when we can smell our remaining cpf, hopefully we are long-lived to touch it, else it is meant for our future generation.

            think they change the policy to age 60 or 65 right? :roll:

                I definitely know what to say!

                What it means is that the GAL of them! Collecting their pension at 55 and raising the CPF withdrawal age for the rest of the population to 62! :rant: :nunchuk: :mad:

                The then Finance Minister said it so reasonably that if they don't allow ministers to collect at 55, then a lot of them will QUIT the ministry so that they can collect the pension immediately! So if EVEN the ministers NEED/WANT to collect their pension early, how about us ordinary folks?!

                Bloody.... :rant: :rant: :rant:
                DPM Teo did say they will look into this given the current change in employment age and contract etc. They BETTER!

                No wonder those guys don't even CARE anymore when such CPF problems are raised up. They are un-affected and living in cushion-padded, ivory CASTLES!
                :frustrated:

                (Gee, my blood is boiling easily after the election, dunno why, I better take it easy here!)

                    Think will probably go for long term visa (spouse visa)... cheaper. šŸ˜“ Since both visa for MM2H program and spouse visa also need to renew... The program every 10years while spouse visa every few months.

                    I don't wish to bring so much $$ to and fro, very \"dangerous\". Plus no money...
                    aiyo, who ask u to bring the $$ to and fro ....???
                    u juz need to open a FD acct with a bank, let say Maybank....no issue at all.

                    the saving of the COE of a car alone is sufficient for maintainng the FD acct
                    as one is entitled to buy a malaysian car and pump malaysia's petrol for 10 yrs......

                    No money ??? no money ......how to retire??? :lol: :lol:
                    u're out of the topic with regards to retirement living.
                    isn't it what our gahmen wanna us to work even at retirement age... šŸ˜‰ :evil:

                    anyway, i rest my case, better stop here before we are shown :offtopic: šŸ˜‰
