the scenario is you are 55 or maybe 60.
house loan settled. even you have another house at kampung, also settled.
car loan settled.
at 55 all your loans settled.
your kids all ady grown up and they live independently
and then you pencen with, let say 350k in saving and/or investment, just for yourself and/or with spouse

i think it is enough enjoy a bit and put the rest in investment or fd or whatever compounding.

usually at that age, u will have some sort of a health problem. if unlucky, multiple.

if u totally healthy no issues and u don't spend like crazy maybe.

if u r not healthy, can't last long with that money alone

The subject whether retirement fund enough or not needs to discuss together when you expect to die … as long as do not die, money not enough…

calculation based. tldr 25 times annual expense. u will be putting in high interest saving like epf then withdraw 3-4% a year until u die.
500k means u using 20k a year. if this is sufficient then good for u
FIRE proponents may start by calculating their FIRE number, generally 25 times their annual expenses, which is the amount of money they expect to need in order to retire comfortably.
Typically, FIRE followers withdraw 3% to 4% of their savings annually to cover living expenses in retirement.
