PARLIAMENT | Lawmakers debating proposed amendments to the Employees Provident Fund Act 1991 in the Dewan Rakyat today zeroed in on the option to allow husbands to transfer part of their contributions to their wife or wives.

Ahmad Maslan (BN-Pontian) said the amendments to allow EPF members to transfer part of their 11 percent contributions to their wife should be expanded to include other possible scenarios.
