ohh okay okay, thanks!

My 2 cents on this ....

I do not add more if I see a higher EPF %. Just glad in my head that my fund has grown a bit more than I expected.

Yes, lazy man investment style! Ha.

Account 2 money can be taken out if you have a house and still paying installments to the bank.

Still can log in. Shoul be on weekend

It has been officially confirmed that 2015 dividend for EPF would be "COMMENDABLE". COMMENDABLE in light of tough economic conditions that is.

Based on previous calculations at 5.8% and + any balance of undistributed % (i.e. reserves), I would deduce that it will definately be less than 6.75% (2014) and may be more than 6.25% (2013).

I put the finger on 6.0% to be prudent. COMMENDABLE in light of tough economic conditions.

Hopefully not below 6%......

Malaysian Employers Federation (MEF) Executive Director Shamsuddin Bardan revealed that 78% of employees had opted for the new rate of 8% contribution, while the remaining 22% opted to retain at 11%.

The dividend will be announced this Monday as confirmed by EPF

really? I cannot find the news anywhere?

Very surprised and impressed that EPF means what it says on announcing the % after CNY. Announcing on the last day of CNY. I hope that consistency and integrity go from top to bottom! Ha.

Worries me a bit on the delay. Why? Difficult to get the accounting done? Trying to find some extra $ to jack up the %? Don't want to hurt the chinese feeling with the bad news during the CNY?

Ha.


P/S My "prediction" on the announcement date has been way off.

Now asking myself will my 6.1-6.3% also be way off?

Once wrong forever wrong? Ha.

I supposed can check status via online on tis Sun

my life insurance premium is around 1440 per year... should i got for 8 or 11% then

Why the delay in announcing the dividend?

Look at the following words from the Sin Chew article :-

EPF deputy chief executive officer (investment) Datuk Mohamad Nasir Ab Latif said earlier the 2015 dividend rate would be declared after the Chinese New Year holidays, and that the rate was expected to be good.

EPF dividend rates for the past six years:
2009: 5.65%
2010: 5.8%
2011: 6.0%
2012: 6.15%
2013: 6.35%
2014: 6.75%

If the Deputy CEO dares to comment that it's going to be good, then I would really like to see what the EPF terms as good. .... We must define 'good' here, and from this definition, we can predict for future divvies.

doesnt matter what EPF says, it doesnt hold any "water" if under-promised anyway.

proof it with any number higher than 2014's 6.75%

To me around 5% is consider good, above is bonus.

The final countdown begins.....

That's the point,....they have not promised anything for the divvy yet, they just said 'good',... so,..what is good ? I would like to see their definition of 'good', since the word has been uttered.

Not too low please,... please don't influence them with 5% being good,...
