Strategic Retirement & Health Engineering: A Professional Case Study from Singapore

 


1. Professional & Educational Foundations

  • Technical Expertise: A career spanning decades in high-precision industries, including ST Aerospace Engines, Singapore Technologies Electronics, and APM Property Management.

  • Continuous Learning: Holder of multiple technical qualifications from Ngee Ann Polytechnic, culminating in a Specialist Diploma in Applied Generative AI (Class of 2025).

  • Practical Mastery: Previous specialized training in Facility Management, Electronic & Computer Engineering, and Air Conditioning & Refrigeration underpins a lifestyle of extreme resource optimization.

2. Financial Architecture & Passive Income

  • Tax-Free Transition: Successfully shifted from active work income to a 100% tax-free passive income stream upon retiring on March 1, 2024.

  • August 2025 Financial Snapshot: Total monthly expenditure maintained at SGD 667.33, representing only 29.73% of monthly passive income.

  • Portfolio Strategy: Income is generated through Unit Trusts, high-dividend stocks, and Singapore Government Bonds (SSBs), with 43% of annual income reinvested into DBS retail unit trusts for growth.

  • Insurance Philosophy: Based on professional risk assessment, refused all private insurance, relying solely on the national MediShield Life framework to maximize investable cash flow.

3. Nutritional Engineering & Lifestyle

  • Medical Necessity: Rigorous dietary management to counteract the metabolic side effects of long-term 1mg Risperidone use and to manage Glaucoma.

  • The "Same-Day" Freshness Rule: 200g of fresh Kai Lan must be purchased and cooked on the same day to ensure peak bioavailability of nutrients.

  • Resource Minimalism: Lives with a younger sister in a self-owned flat (no rent); no water heater or washing machine installed; clothes are exclusively hand-washed.
