Same issue with this type of system everywhere.
In Singapore thise richer are using CPF as a high interest rate fixed deposit topping up at max rate.
You need to have money to exploit it. It is good for those who have money.
But a pension scheme has another goal of ensuring those who are too poor and can never retire without help can also do so with the existence of such a scheme.
Today Singapore has highest income gap among developed countries. We see many working elderly and many are working even though they are in poor health.

I, being poor, have only my dreams; I have spread my dreams under your feet; Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.
