How and where can I put my CPF's OA to some investment (super low risk type) so that HDB would not wipe out most of my OA when I buy BTO? I just wish to park the OA somewhere for a short period and put the money back soon after. Any advice please?

Hey there!

After setting aside the $20,000 required, you can invest the remaining. You can choose a diversified portfolio and allocate your investments more in fixed income funds/money market funds and still have a portion on equities related funds for upside returns.

Unfortunately, you can't put the first 20K away.
