This is very interesting, i saw on another forum, the poster writes as below

The people working in TH should be smacked in the face as they are remarkably stupid.

You CPF funds is borrowed to MAS which then sends it to GIC/Temasek

So when they increase the minimum sum or delay the payment of your CPF (by changing the original rules), its called a Technical Default

They think the rating agencies will never see through the smoke screen, once S&P downgrades the rest will follow

I think i starting to understand why S&P want to dowgrade Temasek, the reasoning is that by delaying the original promise to withdraw the CPF at 55 yrs old is considered a default on the promises of the country, hence the downgrade.

Anyone got thoughts on this issue??
