Dear all,
After going through CPF website, I managed to find out tht you are allowed to continue with CPF Life even if you have withdraw the rest of your CPF money and go back to Malaysia.

https://www.cpf.gov.sg/Members/Schemes/ ... er-grounds

Look under - What happens to my CPF LIFE plan if I am withdrawing my CPF?

So, for now, I can still get CPF Life even if ICA won't want renew my REP when I retired. Hopefully they don't change it. Thanks guys.

That makes sense. You can leave money in your CPF when you cancel REP / PR so this is really no different. Plenty of Malaysians leave CPF in when they go back as it is considered a stronger currency /more secure than EPF / MYR.
I not lawyer/teacher/CPA.
You've been arrested? Law Society of Singapore can provide referrals.
You want an International School job? School website or http://www.ISS.edu
Your rugrat needs a School? Avoid for profit schools
You need Tax advice? Ask a CPA
You ran away without doing NS? Shame on you!

I know CPF don't allow partial withdrawal.

So it's all left or nothing left behind.

They sort of do but only for stipulated things like housing and education - and even then it stops at 55.
