CPF Special, MediSave and Retirement Accounts' interest rate remains at 4% for Q3 2025
[SINGAPORE] The interest rate for the Central Provident Fund's (CPF) Special, MediSave and Retirement Accounts (SMRA) will remain at 4 per cent per annum in the third quarter of 2025 – the same as the second quarter.
This is because the SMRA pegged rate continues to fall below the floor rate of 4 per cent, said the CPF Board in a joint statement issued with the Housing and Development Board (HDB) on Thursday (May 22).
The SMRA interest rate is pegged to the 12-month average yield of 10-year Singapore Government Securities plus 1 per cent, and is subject to the floor rate.
Similarly, the Ordinary Account's (OA) interest rate also remains at the floor rate of 2.5 per cent per annum for the third quarter, as its pegged rate remains below the floor rate.
As a result, the concessionary interest rate for HDB housing loans, pegged at 0.1 per cent above the OA interest rate, will remain unchanged at 2.6 per cent a year.
All CPF members will continue to earn extra interest on their CPF savings.

Members aged 55 and above will earn an extra 2 per cent interest on the first S$30,000 of their combined balances, capped at S$20,000 for the OA, and an additional 1 per cent on the next S$30,000.
Those aged below 55 can expect to earn an extra 1 per cent interest on the first S$60,000 of their combined balances, also capped at S$20,000 for the OA.
The extra interest earned on the OA balances will go into the member's Special Account (SA) or Retirement Account (RA).
For members aged 55 and above who have joined CPF Life, extra interest will continue to apply to their combined CPF balances, including the savings used for CPF Life.

5-room HDB loft at Queenstown sells for S$1.658 million
SINGAPORE: A five-room loft in Queenstown fetched the eye-watering price of S$1,658,888, StackedHomes reported on Jun 5 (Thursday). The buyer of the Premium Apartment loft unit, located on the 22nd to 24th storeys of Block 92 Dawson Road, may well have found it worth the high price. The report described the 122 sqm Premium Apartment Loft as 'a true unicorn' that's 'as rare as they come,' given its location, among public housing units. And of course, its high ceilings, yard area, and great views probably had something to do with it as well. Moreover, it still has 89 years and 10 months on its lease. It made the news last year when a five-room flat at Skyoasis @ Dawson on Margaret Drive changed hands for S$1.73 million . However, StackedHomes noted that the transaction in Queenstown officially makes the unit the most expensive five-room flat across Singapore, pointing out that it appears on the database of the Housing & Development Board (HDB). See also Landed property sales decline in Q3 as buyers exhibit caution Interestingly, what the piece highlights is that not all Home and Development Board (HDB) units are created equal, and rare ones, such as the Dawson Road unit, appear to be in a different league from others. 'At the end of the day, S$1.658 million is a lot of money for any HDB flat, but for someone who wanted a genuinely unique living space in a convenient central location and didn't particularly care about condo facilities or status, this loft unit offered something that simply isn't available anywhere else. Whether that's worth $1.658 million is, of course, entirely up to the buyer. What's clear is that Singapore's property market has evolved to the point where certain HDB units are playing in a completely different league from traditional public housing,' the piece reads. In April of last year, a four-room HDB flat in the area was sold for a record-breaking S$1,238,000. The 109 sqm flat is located between the 19th and 21st floors of 90 Dawson Road, where units carry an average price of S$800,000. The property portal noted that the S$1.238 million price tag is the highest ever recorded for four-room flats in the area, largely due to its location, which is close to many amenities and offers good connectivity, with the Queenstown MRT station within walking distance. Several schools, grocery stores, clinics, and local parks are also conveniently located nearby. 'This sale not only establishes a new standard but also underscores the constant demand for prime residential locations in Singapore,' said at the time. /TISG Read also: 5-room Sengkang HDB flat sells for $1.058 million

Malaysian govt-owned land in Marsiling? Residents express surprise at land acquisition for Woodlands Checkpoint extension, Singapore News
Land owned by the Malaysian government will be acquired for the extension of Woodlands Checkpoint, according to a joint press release by the Immigrations and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) and the Singapore Land Authority (SLA) on Wednesday (June 4). The plots of land to be acquired, which total approximately 0.79ha, are opposite HDB blocks 214 and 215 along Marsiling Lane and are currently covered in vegetation and unused. The first phase of the redevelopment will see an extension built at Old Woodlands Town Centre in September this year, alongside an extension of the Bukit Timah Expressway (BKE). Around 10 residents whom AsiaOne spoke to shared that they were not aware that the plots of land are owned by the Malaysian government. One of them is Marsiling resident Justin Teo, who has lived in the neighbourhood for the past year and a half. The 17-year-old student said he didn't know the plots of land even existed. Another resident, Chia, 65, observed that the area is "deserted and hardly maintained". He too, was not aware the Singapore government is in talks to acquire the two plots of land. "But I know that the HDB blocks beside them will eventually be acquired to develop ICA in the near future," he stated. In 2022, the government had announced that nine blocks in Marsiling Crescent and Marsiling Lane will be acquired to be redeveloped into an expansion of Woodlands Checkpoint. Flat owners in blocks 210 to 218, consisting of 732 affected flats, will be offered similar benefits to those under the Selective En-bloc Redevelopment Scheme (Sers) reported The Straits Times in June that year. AsiaOne understands that the redevelopment project for Woodlands Checkpoint includes both the acquired HDB blocks and the two plots of land to be acquired, although the timelines for further phases cannot yet be confirmed. Responding to queries from AsiaOne, ICA confirmed that the planned area of the redeveloped Woodlands Chekcpoint is about 95ha, including the existing Woodlands Checkpoint. ICA expansion — excitement and concern The expansion is "set to provide a long-term solution to the chronic congestion at this land crossing", according to the ICA and SLA. Under Phase 1, new automated clearance facilities for cargo vehicles, arriving cars, and arriving motorcycles will be constructed alongside the extension to BKE. Following phases will see the construction of additional clearance facilities and retrofitting the existing Woodlands Checkpoint. Teo said that he looked forward to the expansion, as it will be "easier to [travel to and from] JB" with fewer jams, adding that he travels to Malaysia with his family about thrice a year. Marsiling resident Victor Koh and other residents whom AsiaOne spoke to also expressed enthusiasm about the expansion. Speaking with AsiaOne, Koh, a 78-year-old retiree, commented that the expansion will likely be of interest to the younger generation who might be looking for good food outside of Singapore. Koh shared that during his younger days, he would often cross the border to pump petrol, back when customs regulations on fuel had yet to be enforced. "But I'm almost 80," Koh said, sharing that he has medical conditions that make travel difficult. "I know older people regularly visit JB to buy medicine." Although he agreed that the expansion would benefit those travelling for leisure, he also pointed out the importance of faster access for cargo operators and heavy vehicles. "Those things, I think, are more important, because they contribute to our GDP (gross domestic profit) and trade." Koh and Chia, however, expressed some concern over the expansion, with both highlighting the acquisition of HDB blocks in the area. While he personally isn't affected, Koh shared that his friend who is living in one of those blocks will be. "They will be offered a [new flat] nearby that's under construction; they'll [then] be assigned and given preference," Koh explained. While it was reported that these replacement units will require little to no top-ups for similar flat types, Koh shared that the units will be smaller, and there are fears among residents that they "cannot break even". Chia also wondered if the expansion will be enough to smoothen travel between Singapore and Malaysia. He elaborated: "After all, it's two countries… Malaysia and Singapore are two sovereign nations and have two different sets of processes. "Even with the RTS (Johor-Singapore Rapid Transit System Link), I don't think [the expansion] will be a game changer." [[nid:718702]] khooyihang@

Ong Ye Kung ‘dismayed' at $52k bid to rent Tampines HDB clinic
I-Health Medical Holdings won the tender to operate the 50 sq m ground-floor unit at Block 954C Tampines Street 96 in March. ST PHOTO: ARIFFIN JAMAR SINGAPORE - Health Minister Ong Ye Kung said he was 'dismayed' at the $52,188 monthly rental bid for a general practitioner (GP) clinic in a Tampines HDB estate as it may lead to higher healthcare costs. He pointed out that going forward, bids for future HDB GP clinics will be assessed using a model that focuses less on price, and more on quality of care, he said in a Facebook post on June 4. Mr Ong said the high rental bid 'must translate to higher cost of healthcare one way or another, and negate the effort of Ministry of Health (MOH) to try to keep the cost of primary healthcare affordable'. 'More importantly, higher rental bids do not necessarily translate to the best healthcare that the community needs,' he added. I-Health Medical Holdings won the tender to operate the 50 sq m ground-floor unit at Block 954C Tampines Street 96 in March. Bidding on the unit had closed in January. Mr Andrew Chim, 37, the co-owner of I-Health Medical Holdings, had said his bid was based on the attractive attributes of the area. He pointed out that the unit is in the middle of Tampines West where there are five Build-To-Order projects with 5,000 households, as well as other upcoming developments like a new mixed-use project and a shopping mall. Mr Ong said on June 4 that the role of a GP is increasingly important as the population ages. It is also key in developing a relationship of trust with patients, and the vital link to connect patients to acute hospital care and preventative community care. MOH and HDB in May launched a new tender approach for GP clinics at the Bartley Beacon development, where quality of care will account for 70 per cent of tender evaluation and rental price will be 30 per cent. The tender closed on May 29. MOH had received proposals with rental bids significantly below that for the Tampines site, Mr Ong added. He noted that the Tampines clinic launched for tender in December 2024 and was awarded in March 2025, before tenders took on the price-quality evaluation model. The new model which will be the norm moving forward. 'It will be a meaningful shift, both in improving primary care, and ensuring greater affordability,' Mr Ong said. The $52,188 rent came to public attention on May 31 after healthcare practitioner Hisham Badaruddin took to professional networking platform LinkedIn to say this was an 'obscene' amount to pay for rent for a clinic in an HDB estate. General practitioners who run clinics in HDB estates either rent directly from the state, or from landlords who own HDB commercial units. GPs that the The Straits Times spoke to felt the $52,188 rental was too high to be sustainable. Some doctors that rented from private landlords described a volatile rental market that has seen prices rising after the pandemic. Dr Conrad Chin, who runs the E. L. Chin Family Clinic and Surgery in Clementi, said he thought the rental amount was outrageous. 'Most older doctors do not pay above $2,000 for rent. I doubt that the ($52,188) price is sustainable in the long term,' he added. Dr Wong Choo Wai, who runs two HDB clinics in Bedok and Jurong, said if rent is not sustainable the clinic will have to pass on the cost to patients. Dr Wong, who rented before buying his own units in 2009 and 2015, said the rental market has been volatile. 'When the clinic starts doing well, private landlords may jack up the rent,' he said. In 2009, the landlord for his Bedok unit asked for a 40 per cent increase in rent. As the rent 'did not make sense' for the clinic, Dr Wong bought a neighbouring unit for about $750,000. 'I'm thankful I made the decision to buy, else I will be at the mercy of the landlord,' he added. A doctor who runs a clinic in Clementi, and declined to be named, said he hopes the $52,188 rent will not trigger rent hikes as small businesses are already struggling with rentals. 'Anything over $10,000 would be difficult for me to run the clinic. As solo GPs, we don't make that kind of money to justify the rental,' he said. Parkway Shenton chief executive Tay Wee Kai said that rents at their clinics in HDB estates have increased across the board post Covid-19. 'This is partly due to inflation and also due to some landlords adopting a 'catch-up' mentality and expecting higher rent,' he said. Mr Tay added that during the Covid-19 pandemic, rents remained stagnant and even went down at some locations. Their branches in HDB estates comprise about half of their more than 30 clinics.
