Mandatory Provident Fund is intended as a future piggy-bank for Hong Kong people during their retirement years. But it doesn’t always mean we have to wait until we reach 65 to get our life-long savings.
Previously, only a few other cases were good enough to warrant to permit withdrawal of funds earlier than the normal retirement age. These include death, total disability, early retirement a 60 and having small balance in the account. Terminally ill patients may be included in the list as it makes full sense for patients to take their money. Not only because no one else deserves them but also it is expected that taking care of a terminally ill patient incurs a significant amount of money.
