SINGAPORE - The National Trades Union Congress (NTUC) announced on Wednesday 15 recommendations for the ongoing review of the Central Provident Fund (CPF) system.
Among other things, it has called for greater transparency and predictability of the Minimum Sum, proposing that the Government set a 10-year Minimum Sum schedule with corresponding CPF Life monthly payout. It also called for a mid-term review of the schedule to ensure relevancy.
"In addition, any adjustment or changes should be explained to members adequately in advance, including how the Minimum Sum is calculated and CPF Life monthly payout is determined," said NTUC assistant secretary-general Cham Hui Fong.
