Do some studies and buy into blue chip defensive shares, as usually the shares of the company will grow with the economy after absorbing the inflation. But you got to ask yourself, what is your risk appetite, is putting money in stocks too risky for you?

If you get the opportunity, put your monies into ASM or Wawasan 2020 funds and you cannot be wrong with it!
Its yearly dividends is >6% and zero downside risk.

If your are looking at retirement planning, you would want to look into a second EPF-like fund which is stable. Look into a long savings plan, & retirement plan etc which provides stable income stream or lump sum income when you retire. I'm pretty sure you would want something which is secure for your daily expenses when you retire. Upon retirement age, you wouldn't want to have so many assets & investments which carries high risk, even if your pocket can take it, your heart might not be able to take it..haha My advice? start young, slowly contribute & commit to a savings plan which provides fairly well interest rates & even better if compounded interest rates, you'll be amazed small consistent contributions over time can lead to a nice huge lump sum payment for you to enjoy when you retire.
I'm a pru wealth planner btw, hope these advice helps =)

I'm sure you will have a good life in later years. Cheers

Discipline is very important in order to save for future and retirement. It is easier to start commit when we are young and develop the habit. Starting with small amount and commit to it is better than never starting at all; sikit2, lame2 jadilah bukit.

Nw i heard there is a way to put our EPF Account 1 into the stock market, a good opportunity to invest long term and increase our EPF Account 1 worth once we retire? Or better stay with less risk like UT.

Theres another option in which not into stock market but u transfer your EPF account 1 to fund managers to manage for you, returns are higher than the rates EPF provide. However the profit cannot be withdrawned.. Goverment regulation..they allow the use of fund in EPF account 1 but everything after the maturity date has to be transferred back into the EPF account 1..haha.. alot of people doing it now..and these are all regulated by professional fund managers and there are strict regulation form government =)
