EPF better than CPF here
Remember the trust issues I have with CPF? Reiterating point (2): " Any changes in CPF rules should have been grandfathered i.e.do not affect those are already CPF members and affect only new members "
It seems that EPF is doing just that if the proposed changes are implemented:
" Lim stressed that the proposed changes will not affect the existing withdrawal rights of current EPF members. The new structure will apply only to new members after the implementation date, while existing members may choose to opt in voluntarily. "

I hope they will adopt this policy should the changes go ahead.
A rare instance where Singapore has something to learn from Malaysia.
