These must be older folks that do not have much CPF after having paid their HDB housings, medical expenses etc. What about the younger ones?

These pensioners have gone thru the best economic growth in 70s, 80s and 90s while HDB prices still affordable.
The younger generations cannot match the past few generations

With CPF Board management restricted to only buying Govt S$ Bonds from MAS, it has failed to fulfill the basic Pension Funds responsibility of maximize returns for members retirement.
With more than 200 commercial banks, majority bought Singapore Govt Bonds as Liability Base requirements rather than for .investments. -
Becoz It's lower % than interbank interest rates.

True many of them r asset rich and money poor. Many r self employed so not much CPF. If they sell their assets, they might b richer than the younger 1.

..iF CPF Board considered investing all our CPF Savings in Govt Bonds as best profit returns.
Why over 200 commercial banks, very few (or none) of them buy Singapore Govt S$ Bonds as investment?

CPF Board management had failed their duties and responsibility.
Rather, They should use Norwegian Pension Funds Yearly ROI as their benchmark.

This whole Govt is just using Democracy as a frontline of defence for GIC/ Temasek interest and say this is some kind of honesty which is unclear and not transparent.

India is a 3rd world country
There's country risk and as well as currency exchanges exposure.

And why should those who did not borrow CPF money cares about Increasing CPF Interest will affect those pple borrowing CPF money. As for affecting economy system, that sound like what PAP will say to scare ppl..
Bottomline is govt want to play like an INC.. Good time when interest rate is low, tell us must peg to SIBOR..
Now interest rate go up already, will tell us no more INC... need to care about pple borrowing CPF money etc. & affect economy system.. Everything govt wins..
1. I have served the nation in a combat unit for 2.5 + 10 years. I had fulfilled my duty as a citizen, but has the country do it's part for me?
2. I don't know where the threat of CCP is, but I know the threat of CECA is already at my doorsteps
3. I had been called a CCP, JHK, Pinoy, but they never called me a CECA..

CPF rate goes up -> loan rate goes up ->cooling of property. Isn't this a good way of taming speculation?

In Australia, workers superannuation (pension fund) average ROI 9.20% while bank housing loan @ 3.25% pa.
It's technically unrealistic or wrong for CPF CEO to peg housing mortgage rates to investing of CPF Savings. Why?
Then, CPF Board CEO and management (lazy and incompetent) will never put an effort to maximise returns for members future retirements.
Taboos
