DeleteThe asnwer will be clear in Dec 2017 and Jan 2018. Patiently wait for another 6 and 7 months
DeleteKekekeke!!! Uncle CW should have already met the Minimum Sum for his cohort!! :)
DeleteSo whatever left in his SA & OA can be utilized to milk the annual interest.
If do partial CPF withdrawal, they will withdraw the interests from SA & OA first, and then from the main balance in SA, and lastly from OA.
From CPF Website, they said the interest will be from start of the year till the previous month.
So if go in Dec, the interest will be from Jan-Nov only.
So to get full year interest from Jan-Dec, have to go in Jan???
But how to stop CPF from crediting the interests into the main balances of both SA / OA on 31st Dec????
If go in Jan will basically be extracting the interest credited into the main balance of SA only??
Cannot extract from OA becoz need to clear SA before can touch OA???? Aiyoh blur liao!!! Hahahaha!!!!

It is extraordinary because you need will power to withstand the material needs even you can afford to do so (wife nagging as well).
May I do some ball park calculation of $33K interest?
ReplyDeleteAssume SA 148K, MA 40K; interest is $6.6K and $1.6K respectively.
Remainder interest $24.8K is from OA. Thus, OA amount is $992K.
W O W !!!
