sorry, Account 1 only

Guys, how much government staff can withdraw from their account? Assuming they choose pension scheme and ready to be withdraw. And never work at any other sector before.

I think after 3 years working in gomen (after confirmation) can withdraw all EPF money if choose pension scheme

This what people told me.

Mr. A said take everything from account 1.

Mr. B said take 40% of total account 1+2.

What I know gomen would take their share 1st & put in KWAP (the 12% they contribute each month). The balance can be withdraw by u (your contribution + dividend)

so good news, next year we should be expecting more dividends already, 7.5%? haha..

Never expect EPF to give you high dividend every year. I only target them to pay 5% a year. Anything more than that considered bonus

I'm starting to max out my self contribution RM60k a year given the increasing dividend every year!

Gud move

veli good

260,000 EPF accounts earn zero dividends
The EPF has since 2008 stopped paying dividends to account holders once they turn 75

http://www.thesundaily.my/news/1175991

KUALA LUMPUR: Several million ringgit in the Employees Provident Fund (EPF) accounts of some 260,000 contributors aged above 75, have been earning zero dividends.

Whether it is known to them or not, the EPF has since 2008 stopped paying dividends to account holders once they turn 75.

EPF corporate affairs unit head Nik Affendi Jaafar, who confirmed the existence of the policy, said despite this, some 260,000 members have retained their money in the fund.

Why keep when there no dividend for it. It's like giving "free money" to EPF/Gomen Put in FD also can get some money
