SINGAPORE - The National Trades Union Congress (NTUC) is calling for Central Provident Fund (CPF) contribution salary ceilings to be reviewed to ensure middle-income workers have enough retirement funds in their accounts.

This will allow CPF savings to keep pace with wage growth, and it is one way the labour movement is looking to improve retirement adequacy for workers here, said NTUC deputy secretary-general Heng Chee How on Tuesday (Feb 15).

CPF salary ceilings were last raised six years ago, when the Ordinary Wage ceiling went up from $5,000 a month to $6,000 a month

Aiyah waste time.
Just do
1) No wage ceiling until RA/SA limit reached
2) All CPF contributions gosh towards filling up RA/SA and MA, only when both are maxed up would it overflow into OA

Then everyone RA/SA/MA gao gao, can onself pay for own retirement and medical bills.:o

Wage increase.. what wage increase.. ?

But agree that under current structure that retirement funds might not be enough.. whether that means wage ceiling should be increased or whether other schemes should be put in place to enhance retirement fund savings is still up to debate in my opinion.
