Why GIC and Temasek didn't put all their $$$ with CPF Board,?

It's very safe similar to CPF members savings,  and fully guaranteed by Singapore Govt.

GIC borrows money from our CPF via issuance of bonds to invest for higher returns.

Since both SWFs didn't put any $$$ with CPF Board that means CPF is not safe at all. 
They must have considered CPF very risky.

Then why should we put $$$ there

GIC sees CPF Board as an idiot for not able to invest for higher returns like them

Is this correct or not?

IF both GIC and Temasek reluctant to put $$$ with CPF Board which offers unreasonably low returns that's considered not suitable for them..

Then why is it suitable for us?

but people say CPF interest rate is there even better than crap banks interest lor.


RE: Why GIC and Temasek didn't put all their $$$ with CPF Board? - SGSeniorCitizen1952 - 14-03-2022

CPFB (force us to save) by collecting our contributions every month. 
Every month hundreds of millions of dollars sucks and taken out of the system.
After sucking our money they recycle it by buying bills and bonds from the Singapore govt.

CPFB does no investing just pass on money collected to the govt.

MAS recycles the money back into the system by lending into the system (money market operations) or 
buy foreign currencies and selling Singapore dollars (foreign exchange operations).

If not the system will become so short (tight) that interest rates will shoot through the roof.

The foreign currencies bought becomes foreign reserves, which gets recycled to GIC.

Only believe in GIC and Temasek , world's top SWFs, and no one else.

Since the experts think CPF Board is not worthy as investment assets, and didn't put $$$ with CPF Board.

Then CPF Board is Junk status - not an investment grades.
We have to Trust their market judgement.

Can anyone of you here name one advanced country's  pension funds operating similarly like CPF Board to service SWF, GIC?
