Can anyone tell me in this era, is it possible for a civil servant to retire comfortably at age 55 with enough to spend for the final days ahead? In the olden days, the pension scheme was very attractive. But today, it does not exist any more.
Many people have advised me on the downside of joining a niche govt job ---- non-transferable skills. If the current retirement plans offered by the govt are sufficient for a retired farmer to continue living without working and without comprising quality of life, I might think it's not too bad a deal.... |

There is no retirement plan to speak of other than CPF and the annuity options they have are all pretty crappy and it would be a struggle if you depend on that. If you want to retire like middle income lifestyle, you will need roughly $5,000 monthly ($60,000 p.a.) to draw down on. Assume you live until 80 then it would mean $60,000 x (80-55) = $1.5M. I do not think most farmer civil servant have $1.5M worth of retirement nest at 55 yrs old. Of course there is general inflation so the real number 30 years down the road should be $3-4M, but I suppose your wages will also go up as well.... |
Anyone knows the difference between the rankings of 'MX' (e.g MX11, MX 10 etc) and that of 'Grade' (e.g Grade 8 for CPIO and Grade 13 for CAO) ? Are all these the rank structure of civilian positions?
