Who's bright idea was this? And piangz, life expectancy for a typical male in Sg is what, 75?Originally posted by the Bear:think about this.. being forced to pay for an annuity where you can only start collecting when you reach 85
it's worse than the mob because the mob need to grease the palms of the law to do that... here, it's going to be the law -
An example of this annuity is that the CPF member pays a basic premium of X dollars which goes into a pool.Originally posted by jetta:Who's bright idea was this? And piangz, life expectancy for a typical male in Sg is what, 75?
That money will be paid out from age 85 - for life.
But if the member doesn't live till 85 years old, the money will then be used to support others in the pool, who are still alive.
It's not determined if the CPF Board or private companies will administer the compulsory annuities scheme.
The Manpower Minister stressed that the basic idea of the compulsory annuities is to insure members for the latter part of their lives, that is after 85 years old.
The aim is to provide a subsistence payout amount first, of possibly between $250 and $300 monthly.
Dr Ng said more details on this scheme will be announced next month. -

Jetta, this 'annuity' is really a thinly disguised TAX because most of us will be dead before that age and a few might live for a few years after that at most.
The money will be eaten by the PAP and used to pay for their bonuses. -
