Retiring in Singapore is easy if you have a fully paid property (hence no need to pay mortgage or rent). Then your CPF Life will give you $3500 pm for a couple. This is enough.
If you are lucky, you children will give you a monthly allowance which you can save. Don't need to be so stupid to work so hard to get $100k pm for retirement.

You are doing great. If you want you can retire now and live a frugal life. And free of the office politics.

Singapore developers win big as China eases property curbs
The measures will be relaxed in 2016.
A number of Singapore-listed developers will gain from China's expected easing of property buying curbs.
According to DBS Vickers, lifting of the curbs is likely to hinge on a significant price correction or significant stress in affordability on back of rising interest rates.
"We believe that any policy actions will likely be initiated in 2016, and targeted towards the mass market where the pressure is coming from an increase in supply completions. This could lead to a potential re-rating of Property stocks; our picks are stocks which have specific catalysts to unlock value," stated DBS.
These developers include Capitaland and Frasers Centrepoint. Other stocks with a diversified business model that generates strong and sustainable cashflows, such as Global Logistics Properties, will also benefit.
"In addition, these stocks offer exposure to China, riding on price recovery on the back of an easier credit environment,” DBS stated

Not in the key cities of Shanghai and Beijing. Prime land there is scarce.
The ghost cities you read about have poor locations hence noone want to move there, they are away from the major cities, population and economic centres.
Developers selling properties in good location are doing well.
The same for Singapore. If you want to buy property, buy in growth regions such as the Jurong Lake District, Paya Lebar, Woodlands as upside potential in the longer term is good. Also must buy properties near MRT stations.
