Any recommendation for where to park $5-6k (other than low yield savings/FD) for kids' college education in 7 years' time?

I have an education endowment plan and I have this additional $5-6k from the kids' ang pow money. I don't want to leave it in low yield savings / FD. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Hi! Why not just pump this money into your children's CDA account? When they turn 13, the money in this CDA account will be transferred to a Post-Secondary Education Account (PSEA) account - which can be used to pay for college fees.

Admittedly, I think this route requires the child to study university in Singapore.
