true and this is a words of wisdomOriginally posted by pearlie27:Singapore govt actually has no right to use the Msians CPF to bargain for anything from Msia as the monies legally and righfully belong to the Msians. Singapore govt already makes tons of money from the levies liao.
Msians coming to work in Spore know very well that they have to pay CPF IN Spore and can only withdraw the money after 55 like all Sporeans. If Msians work in Msia they also have to pay EPF. Over the years S$ saved in CPF in Singapore has doubled in value compared to ringgit. Besides, to many of them it is saver to put the money with the spore government than the msian government. So are the Msians complaining? NO, unless they were allowed to withdraw the money out and go straight into their individual bank account. If it is to each individual account, then it does not benefit the Msian government!! Why are they bargaining?Originally posted by pearlie27:Singapore govt actually has no right to use the Msians CPF to bargain for anything from Msia as the monies legally and righfully belong to the Msians.

Malaysians who work in Singapore - I think the main lot are Chinese. Do the Malaysian govt give a damn about them other than the bumiputra? CPF is like a long term safe deposit with a good interest rate - anyone who know better will want to leave their money there for a while and withdraw it when they are 55 years old.Originally posted by eng-wah ong:i hope that the government won't 'return' the malaysians' cpf to them easily and instead use them as a bargain tool for issues besides rsaf usages of their bases like pedra branca, tanjong pagar train, water and reclaimation issues

Let me put in a few facts here.Originally posted by sgdiehard:Msians coming to work in Spore know very well that they have to pay CPF IN Spore and can only withdraw the money after 55 like all Sporeans. If Msians work in Msia they also have to pay EPF. Over the years S$ saved in CPF in Singapore has doubled in value compared to ringgit.

NO, unless they were allowed to withdraw the money out and go straight into their individual bank account. If it is to each individual account, then it does not benefit the Msian government!! Why are they bargaining?
The point is that if the CPF money were to be transferred, it would go to the Msians EPF accounts, not straight into the Msians pocket!!! The Msians government will have a lot of money to build a few more towers or bridges but it does not benefit the Msians CPF account holders. That explains why no sound from the Msians CPF members and they are still coming to work in Spore and pay CPF!!
It should be noted that CPF pays members 2.5% for ordinary account, and 4% for special account, while banks pay for saving 0.125%. That is why Singapore government is asking us to invest our CPF money.
There is no doubt that the CPF money, legally and rightfully belongs to the members, sporeans and msians. Do the msians account holders want the money in CPF or EPF? and if msians were allowed early withdrawal then wouldnÂ’t sporeans be disadvantaged? It may be a matter of time before msians are treated like all foreign workers, but before that, we donÂ’t have to give up our bargaining chip.
Malaysian can withdraw CPF anytime before 55 if they leave Singapore permanently. They just need to sign a paper stating exactly that to withdraw $$.Originally posted by LittleTiger:Actually Msian (chinese) working in spore ae happy with the CPF being kept till 55. The one making fuss is msian government cos wallet a big holes liao...
Remember MAS? That tycoon buy from government at cheap price and when losing $$$ sell back to govenrment at excredible high price. Government no $$ to buy then use m'sia EPF fund. Yup that organization used to buy back the Malaysian Airlines are EPF subsidiaries. One M'sian goverment riches organization with cash are EPF.
So they want to transfer spoe CPF money to EPF account. Or asking m'sian withdraw the $$$ and put into m'sia.
I think last time the got say m'sia can apply to take out their CPF $$ before 55 but once withdraw, they are not allow to work in spore anymore....
Any m'sian chinese will withdraw? 99.99% NO. paid here is high cos S$1xRM2.3, % interest in CPF also higher than bank somemore got 15% contribution from employer... asn risk not be able to work in spore again.
Thanks for the corrections.Originally posted by Qitai:Let me put in a few facts here.
1) Malaysian working in Singapore do not need to pay CPF. (Malaysian) PR working in Singapore will have CPF.
2) To claim Singapore CPF is safer than Malaysia EPF is flawed. There is no evidence of one being safer than the other.
3) Malaysia one year fixed deposit interest rate is 3.7%.
The above does not tries to side with anyone. Just to make clear some facts.
dude if they ever invade SG, this money can keep in your house to use as toilet paper, everything will be blown high sky.Originally posted by SibeiSuayKia:Dude that money is called safety money...

They can't close the airspace after signing the agreement.....Originally posted by sgdiehard:Thanks for the corrections.
If only the Malaysian with Singapore PR need to pay CPF, then it is the case of Singapore PR paying CPF. How is it that the Malaysian government is making the claim? We have PR from so many different countries.
Agree there is no evidence that any one can be safer than the other. My conclusion comes from Malaysians whom I know and they made that judgement comparing how the two governments spent money and the reserve of each country. One can still argue that Malaysia has more resources than Singapore, but the question remains is the Malaysian government carrying out the wishes of the Malaysian with CPF in Singapore?
Once money is transferred, there is no return. Malaysia can agree to open their airspace to RSAF today, but tomorrow they can close it again, like what they did before. That is why I agree that we should not give away easily.
This is a irresponsible remark.... will you "those belong to the arrogant sporean" wash toilet, sweep floor, working as operator, working shift, build road, ship, collect ur rubbish, etc?Originally posted by mohanraj0085:Malaysians should just take their CPF and go back malaysia ! they are taking away so many jobs frm sporeans ...
ma de hao!!Originally posted by LittleTiger:This is a irresponsible remark.... will you "those belong to the arrogant sporean" wash toilet, sweep floor, working as operator, working shift, build road, ship, collect ur rubbish, etc?
Beside m'sian there are more and more indonesian, thai, filipino, china ppl, indian. Ask them to go home as well?
Who build the hdb house for you?
Who look after you house and cook for you?
Maybe u can go back to your native country as well?
They native malays here will say.."we dont need you here"
M'sian work as medium and slight low paid job.... Why not asking those really high paid foreign workers to leave? They crave more money from SPore!!!
Society nowadays are needing each other or using each other... its a cycle. Spore lack of work force, without them do u think foreign invester will be here?
No, cos cant find enough workers and sporean paid are reluctant to do those work and wishes a high paid.
Quite true. The CPF monies of Malaysians workers should not be negotiated at all. It should remain where it is until time for withdrawl according to existing rules.Originally posted by pearlie27:Singapore govt actually has no right to use the Msians CPF to bargain for anything from Msia as the monies legally and righfully belong to the Msians.
