forced saving/retirement plan for 30yrs. if i know earlier i may take it.
forced saving is a nice way to name it
but it comes with lots of caveats - you miss a few months payments, the interest / penalty will be accumulated for the rest of the loan tenure
sometimes, delinquent end users will have their BLR-1.65% reverted to 0%, and in some extreme cases, BLR + 1.0%
and the ASB loan will somehow affect / reduce your loan amount eligibility for you to finance properties
just be careful with the ASB loans. it's a good thing when everything is good. but when you suddenly need money and can't pay for the loan once or twice, the effects will ripple for the whole 25 years.
