Not only that due to the way CPF calculate interest they based it on the lowest amount within the month so if you withdraw depend on the T-bill auction date, you need to beat the CPF interest of maybe up to 8 months (1 to apply, 1 to go back after mature). But recent 4.19% means it really can beat so a long queue is formed in bank as CPF for T-bill need to be done at the bank branch cannot online DIY.

Expected. I just don't know how low it will go. Thankfully, still at 4% and not lower. Better than FD. Issue now is what will be the interest rate 6 months later.

Treat T-Bill as FD lah. Better that way. I put T-Bill in the same basket as SSB and FD for my investment. Shares is in another basket.
