Epf S Financial Status Called Into Question Over Decision To Sell Assets
The Union Network International-Malaysia Labour Centre (UNI-MLC) has voiced its opposition to the selling of assets by the Employees Provident Fund (EPF). - NSTP/EIZAIRI SHAMSUDINKUALA LUMPUR: The Union Network International-Malaysia Labour Centre (UNI-MLC) has voiced its opposition to the selling of assets by the Employees Provident Fund (EPF).
It is calling for an independent committee to look into the EPF's financial status and the presentation of a report on its savings.
UNI-MLC president Datuk Mohamed Shafie BP Mammal said the decision by the EPF has revealed its desperation in funding withdrawals by members.
"It indirectly shows that the EPF does not have the reserves and cash flow, as it is forced to take such a drastic measure. We suspect the EPF is facing liquidity problems.
"The EPF's board of members and the Finance Ministry must be held responsible, as this affects the confidence of members," Mohamed Shafie said in a statement today.
Under the 2021 Budget, eligible members can access 10 per cent of their savings in Account 1, subject to a consistent minimum balance of RM100.
Those who have RM90,000 and below in their Account 1 can access any amount up to RM9,000. The amount advanced will be staggered over six months with an increased first advance of up to RM4,000.
Those with savings of and above RM90,000 in Account 1 have access of up to 10 per cent of the account. However, the maximum total amount allowed to be advanced is RM60,000.
The amount advanced will be staggered over six months, with an increased first advance of up to RM10,000.
Mohamed Shafie said a one-off RM10,000 withdrawal from Account 1 would be more feasible. - NST
