EPF withdrawals: Govt urged to consider contributors' remaining funds

PARLIAMENT | The government needs to consider the Employees Provident Fund (EPF) contributors depleting funds before allowing another round of special withdrawal programmes.

Amirudin Shari (Pakatan Harapan-Gombak) said the remaining savings of contributors are becoming more worrying following several special withdrawal initiatives since the Covid-19 pandemic struck the country, adding that some contributors could only afford to spend 68 sen a day after their retirement.
