Still have to maintain the minimum sum in OA?
Guess the raising of ERS 4 times BRS (or $426K) in 2025 is meant to absorb the SA balance (if any).
10 years RA interest from 55yo for this new ERS amount will be
$204K.
But members must survive till the 65yo CPFLife payout year in order not to let CPF forfeit this interest earned.

Indirectly saying that our temasek and gic not able to perform so can't pay the high interest back to CPF. If that's the implied underlying... Then time to cut the number of top brass in temasek and gic... Why keep these people on the high payroll??!?

If youbstill want the 4% you have to transfer to RA ...once in RA you cannot take out as lump sum but enroll your money to the enhanced CPF Life scheme.
The changes also means those who use the "shielding trick" to get more interest can no longer do it as money goes back to cPF OA....
Looks like they purposely close a loophole
If it is a loophole should they not close it?

Yes, close the loophole. 4% savings account gone.
Now got to seek higher returns.
Where will the massive funds go to? Bonds , T bills, reits?
Expect T bill n SSB yield to drop. Siao liao
