I hope I can have > 1 MIL in EPF when I retire... 

Yes, your EPF over 1million ?

Ahmad Burhan Abd Wahab even suggested that the withdrawal age be set at 70 years for men and 75 years for women.

Every politician in this world wants power and money.
Is Singapore really clean? I doubt so.

Why took out all your money out from EPF ? Care to share with us ? 

last 3 yrs, i think average... 8% yield + 2% cap appr + 2% fx gain = 12% p.a. in rm terms?!

From what I understand that REIT is a pretty conservative investment right ?

If a conservative investment could still give 8% yield, it really means our EPF is not giving as good yield as what most people think.

yes, i understand.

Perhaps your gain was partly derived from our currency slips below sing currency more and more ?

One of the greatest key risk of REIT is not volatility... it is Rights Issue Call and SGReits are rather notorious for that due to their nature of distributing 90% of income and leverage not more than 50%....

So prophetjul, how many rights issue have you taken up from holding SGReits?

how much fees you need to pay when investing?
or you used EPF?

am thinking where to invest my cash other than FD

I don't understand the statistics.

It's says :-
If the amount withdrawn has jumped in %, wouldn't it mean more people are inclined to withdraw (more) money out than keeping it with EPF ? Why the conclusion is this :-
Can someone enlighten me ? 

Based on my rough calculation, you've about RM100K in Account 2 of EPF at an age of 28 year old.

Can EPF declare 6.75% for 2015?

"In line with the creation of the KWSP-I account, Section 27 will be amended to enable two dividend rates to be announced for EPF contributors," he said

Further under the new amendments, the EPF board may have the power to declare a dividend of not less than 2.5% per annum for members who have not elected for their accounts to be managed according to syariah principles.

The Bill also states that the EPF may have the power to declare a dividend of not less than 2.5% per annum for those whose elections have not taken effect.

"In respect of contributions made by the members of the Fund whose elections for their accounts be managed according to the Syariah under the proposed section 43A have come into effect, the Board shall declare dividend at any rates according to the actual performance of the investment made by the Board in relation to the accounts," reads the Bill.

I don't think that is true. Both also will be given NO LESS THAN 2.5% (from what I read, I understand that both will be minimum 2.5%). Could be wrong here.

Further under the new amendments, the EPF board may have the power to declare a dividend of not less than 2.5% per annum for members who have not elected for their accounts to be managed according to syariah principles

"In respect of contributions made by the members of the Fund whose elections for their accounts be managed according to the Syariah under the proposed section 43A have come into effect, the Board shall declare dividend at any rates according to the actual performance of the investment made by the Board in relation to the accounts," reads the Bill.

Then what is this?
It meant even those who didn't make the change, EPF can give dividend of min 2.5%. So is not restricted to those who switch.
