It's an unpopular opinion/decision. Any advice or 'better' ways to use that $5k?

Congrats for your full-time role! I understand that you have a $5K saving and intending to put it into your CPF. To see if this is the best way, one thing to consider is your intention of the your money.
Also ask yourself if you have enough emergency funds?
Do you want to see your money only at age 55/65 etc?
Is there are short-term need for the $5k?
Financial planning is dynamic. Hope to hear your intention here.
