Well, looking at the petition response, I have to think that
only a few hundreds are against it while millions are FOR annuity ?
What can be done?
This singapore phenomenon needs a thesis and investigative
reporting to unearth the mentality of 1st world singapreans who are
kiasi and kiasu and kia everything even their cars. 
Your CPF money.
Many retirees want to do the things they could not do before
retirement as they dun have the time nor savings to do so.
When retired, they actually have the money to realise their dreams,
being high saver asians.
Some like to start some business with their years of experience and
savings, much also stuck in cpf. By drawing bit by bit , little by
little, their hardearned savings cannot be used for business
investments!
Installments like 500/700 a month is also is not sufficient to do
much except for daily things like taking the bus and maybe having a
cup of kopi every day. Next time, I cannot guarantee this will be
even sufficient for daily things like these if prices hike on a
constant and regular basis, for so many items!
Thus, I feel that if I were to retire like this, not able to
withdraw my money in cpf in large portions or completely, I could
only retire and die never realising my dreams.
I hope the will of the people can bring about change and influence
big decisions . If no one push for change, nothing will. Ghost and
Air cannot help you right? only humans can help humans. and only
humans can destroy humans.
