Personally I won't.

EPF - principal money is guaranteed, return also guaranteed, just how much the dividend will be only.

PRS - Principal not guaranteed, return also not guaranteed, can be no dividend, and make a lost if market situation is not favourable to the fund.

I would opt for UT instead of PRS.
PRS = UT that cannot be withdrawn until reaching pension age, apart from the tax relief (3K max), there is no incentive to invest into PRS at all.
While invest in UT (without PRS route), you have the flexibility to withdraw or selling it anytime, if one is seeing the market has peak.

Yeap the only incentive for me is the tax relief.

Max out EPF first and then go for PRS. After maxing out PRS, I'd go for shares.

1) The tax savings as announced by PM during the 2012 bajet is for ten years; therefore it will stay until  2012 + 10 = 2022.

And quite likely to be extended beyond that as well.

I really wish they extend as I haven't buy my PRS yet. (not working yet). But seeing the current scenario, it seems unlikely.

What current scenario?
