How will he do on age 60? Give up PR right? Now basic retirement sum is $ 106,500.  The ERS will hence be $426,000 in 2025, instead of $319,500, which DPM Wong said will allow more members aged 55 and above to commit their accumulated CPF savings to receive higher monthly payouts. The BRS provides CPF members with monthly payouts to cover their basic living expenses during retirement. The higher ERS is part of wide-ranging changes to the CPF system that DPM Wong, who is also Finance Minister, announced on Feb 16. So he cannot withdraw any money at age 60? Your table looks a little wrong... where is his 37% monthly contribution (37% of $2000)?

QUOTE(CrazyPizza @ Feb 28 2024, 11:13 PM) This has been asked many times before albeit the official docs saying that. Most malaysians never translate including my colleagues, my cousin etc. all hv no issues hvg it approved. And besides if they really do need translation they will inform u, they wont outright reject u because of this Ok bro, but I’d rather follow what the rules say, just in case you bump into an officer that decides to be difficult. Buat ape cari pasal right?

QUOTE(CrazyPizza @ Feb 28 2024, 11:02 PM) Hello, just stumbled upon this thread. I applied march last year going to be 1 year now. Althought applied right after 6 months working here. Most of people i know who are malaysian male, freshgrads, 6 months exp will get exactly around 1 year, my indonesian colleague got it in 3 months. interesting that many of u guys plan to convert to citizenship, dont think i ever will. KL to me have much better living standards and more things to do than sg. And i dont want to work till 60. I plan to work till 35-40 then retire back in my. U guys plan to work till retirement age? The beauty of it is if your income in Singapore is high enough, you have choices to retire at whatever age you wish.

QUOTE(CrazyPizza @ Feb 29 2024, 01:04 AM) EP, yea i have done my calculations, 35-40 should be a safe time with min 1 mil sgd. dont deposit in bank tho, make sure u invest ur savings in safe yet high returns places like snp500, berkshire etc. i guess 10 years of working in sg is equivalent to 30-40 years of work in malaysia. Will you be working back in KL though? SGD1m won’t get you very far nowadays….

QUOTE(CrazyPizza @ Feb 29 2024, 01:10 AM) i wonder if the average singaporean have that option. Truly lucky to be malaysian to get the best of both worlds. Yeah. I thought like you once… thought I’d return to Malaysia to retire after x number of years. But, after nearly 30 years here, that’s becoming less and less a realistic expectation. Will retire elsewhere though  - Singapore has indeed given me that option.

QUOTE(malz89 @ Feb 29 2024, 05:15 PM) I would say most, in the early days, would consider going back to Malaysia. In fact, I was one of them too .. haha. Singapore is a great place to stay, if you're priority is career, not a great place if you're more laid back. Everything is so efficient, in malaysia it could take me months to get my thing done, whilst in Singapore maybe less than a week. Best of all, things are merit based. You perform, you move up. At the same time, it is very tiring too. You summed up the situation perfectly. For us at the mid tier level, it is merit based.

QUOTE(malz89 @ Feb 29 2024, 06:43 PM) Yes .. life of a kuli .. that's what u have to experience in your early days. Things will get better. For me, I have flexible working hours. I go to work after the rush hours, and return before the rush hours. In return I work on weekends. I don't do bare minimum but rather doing my best with freedom given by my boss. You don't have to stay in hdb, can get yourself car, don't have to go to malls go to a club instead, can go for atas food. Things will be different in the future. Unfortunately, I'm just a kuli too but at least I feel contented .. haha .. I grew up from a poor family, so I had to work for what everything I have today. They who are used to having to work to get what they need or want will fit right in a country like Singapore. Those who are not so used to this concept will cast aspersions and belittle they who are making a living and a life for themselves in Singapore.

QUOTE(CrazyPizza @ Feb 29 2024, 06:06 PM) Set up a plan, what do u want in life? Life is so short, do u want to work till you r old? Do u want to retire early and travel around the world maybe. Plan out your life for the next 15 years including your finances etc For me its not because of family, i just realise theres more to life than work, i do the bare minimum at my work now and go back earlier or on time. I feel suffocated in sg with the hdb view, taking public transport with the crowd and ocassional people who dont shower, the crowded malls, the shitty food, the rude people. sg really just not a place to live True for those who are starting out, but Singapore at least pays a wage commensurate with your ability - at least far better than what Malaysia is offering.

One thing is that Singapore is unrelenting in its pursuit for new engines of growth and not afraid to cut out non-performing sectors or companies.
