First i saw i tot very good. They allow you to get EPF withdrawal to help you subsidize you home loan.

But then take a look at this sentence.

My suggestion.
If you do get the cash. Here are some things you could do with it, since they bank in directly into your account.

1) Pay of your credit card outstanding first. (Save 18%)
2) Invest into some investment that can get you returns that are more then 6.5% per annum. (Taking into account of the average housing loan rate).

If you are not getting around this rate or wish to get lower rates. you can go to fiscal wise for some help.
