The Chicken Rice Audit Is a Business Class Seat Worth 450 Plates of Chicken Rice 🦖 EP1496
The bank calls it eight miles per dollar. The forensic model calls it a S$650 admission fee on S$50,000 of your retirement capital. When you strip out the opportunity cost against a 1.36% T-Bill, the notional mile value collapses to a cash-equivalent yield of roughly 1.78% — well short of anything that earns its place on a fortress balance sheet.
For investors building sanctuary capital in a 5,000-point STI era, that gap matters. The 3.2% Forensic Floor exists precisely to filter out strategies that dress up illiquid rewards as yield. When a miles scheme cannot clear a 4.7% hurdle on a cash-equivalent basis, you are not earning a perk — you are subsidising the bank's engagement algorithm with your CPF-era liquidity.
