I think the suggestion could be more like not to use housing as part of minimum sum calculation.
Then the cpf savings for retirement will not be subjected to housing price fluctuations. Not so directly say cannot use cpf to buy house but still jialat |

Hair already wash until wet wet ...... no return liao
I dun think it is wrong that CPF should not be use to buy HDB I believe the usage of CPF actually contributed to the rising prices of HDB When HDB was first mooted, it was affordable housing for everyone The starting premise was good If we cannot use CPF to buy HDB, I believe we will still not see $1M HDB today |

In case you’re too busy following the Malaysia General Elections, here’s what you missed about President Halimah’s opening Parliament speech. She called for bold changes to help Singapore chart a different future. Some experts, non-governmental groups and former MPs had very big, daring ideas – take a look below on who said what. Walter Theseira, Singapore University of Social Sciences labour economist Stop using CPF to pay for housing so Singaporeans have enough for retirement Value of homes may drop as people age so it may affect our retirement adequacy Introduce capital gains tax so employees don’t have to pay more tax than people who rely on investments Dr Angelique Chan, Duke-NUS Medical School Government should provide a caregiver allowance for people who quit their job to look after their aging parents Government will pay more if the elderly end up in homes Association of Women for Action and Research (AWARE) Relax HDB policy for divorced parents to rent flats without being banned for 30 months Unmarried mothers should be allowed to form a family nucleus with their children to buy homes Assistant Professor Irene Ng, National University of Singapore Department of Social Work Give every household free data plan and mobile device Internet is a necessity in the modern world Ku Swee Yong, International Property Advisor Chief Executive Allow driverless vehicles on our roads more quickly Inderjit Singh, former People’s Action Party MP Help local firms become big multinationals Focus on local enterprises and SMEs If they move their operations overseas, money can still be brought back here Harish Pillay, Singapore Computer Society council member Include computational thinking into primary school syllabus Help students think logically and develop problem-solving skills Focus more on skills, less on academics |
