Are u sure?

its moronic a.k.a idiotic a.k.a bodoh to suggest that epf dividend is kajang sweetener. typical malaysians. always want to politicize everything. give more salah give less lagi la salah *sigh*

6.4% is cool

EPF is finalizing 2013 dividend?

A maintenance activity is being carried out on 14 February 2014 (Friday) from 5.30 p.m to 16 February 2014 (Sunday), 3.00 a.m. This activity will cause the i-Akaun to be inaccessible during this time.

The i-Akaun facilities will only be accessible and operate as usual after 3.00 a.m, on 16 February 2014.

We apologise for any inconveniences caused.

the timing is interesting, chances are EPF could be announcing tomorrow (recent historical trend to announce on Sunday, credit on Monday)

here's a comparison table of announcement date/day vs credit date/day

Announcement Date	Day	Dividend	Year	Credit Date	Day	Source

Wah, I am impressed. You really are very resourceful and knowledgeable on EPF dividends!

Cheerio.

errrr i'm not, actually never bother much about epf dividend (cant manipulate it; up to EPF's "mercy"). just hope to get high dividend like everyone else

i just dug out numbers and table it out for easier comparison

announcement could be 16 Feb or 23 Feb, if they "stick" to their historical schedule LOL! better early than late. since wil-i-am observed iAkaun is under maintenance mode, 16 Feb annoucement may seem very likely.

it's gonna be released this sunday

Yes agree. Last year EPF investment result is good with equity rising. If this year is less than 6%, then where the profit gone to?

Hey guys,

In ALL of the history of EPF to date, in the very worse of time, when the economy is in recession and companies are not making any money and a lot of companies earnings are NEGATIVE, EPF is able to yield at POSITIVE earning at 4.25% (2002 - Dot com crisis), 4.5% (2008 - Global Financial Crisis), even much better than most of us are getting at FD rates today.

For those who invest in the stock market, one or two bad years in recession, all investments can go down BELOW their principal (or wipe out their retirement).

So, do you guys see any bad times at all? Infact, there is none so far..

Sometimes, I'm baffled why the heck to people wants to withdraw all their EPF money and put in something like FD.

Highest dividend since Year 1999 (6.84%)

already check the i-account...and its 6.35%...but, when EPF declare this?

official statement by EPF probably today. so far EPF website havent posted it, yet.

for me, dont care! LOL dividend is in my statement account

keep your eyes peeled in today's online mainstream papers, e.g. TheSunDaily, TheStar, etc. cuz EPF released the same statement to them as well.

It suppose to be 6.35% but the amount i get seems only around 5.3%

How come?

I think they calculate the interest for each month.

Try that and see if the monthly interests add up to their stated value.

Mine does.

Cheerio.
