Although dad got us PRs and his many employment benefits, mom rather place me with her friends/ neighbours bcos it's affordable/ trustable.

The CPF balances can be withdrawn only if you leave Singapore for countries outside West Malaysia. If you are a West Malaysian, then consider carefully before accepting the PR status.
