Yes. The Act says a contract of employment that fixes a retirement age after the employee's sixtieth birthday is valid.
When are my NPF savings paid?
The SSHFC pays your National Provident Fund savings, with interest, when you reach the normal retirement age of 60. Part of them can be paid earlier in some situations.
