but EPF have foreign investment exposure... the forex gain / income can help a bit to "cover"

Putting aside the current poor economical situation in M'sia, I wonder, will it be a wise choice to contribute more money (other than deduction from salary) into EPF account for the purpose of "force saving" and also to earn the interest...?

follow unker dreamer opinion.. don't "feed" them with more $$ to bailout

Ha if you follow him, you will end up like him

noob question.. how do you buy or save?

Does CPF in Singapore has the said amount of cash? Nope, they don't have.
So does our EPF has the said money? Again, nope. Since 1997 crisis, EPF already empty.
So, does other financial institution has the said money also? Again, it is the same.
Is matter of trust we are talking. Like some choose to believe trust funds can make more money which in fact the return are way lower than FD most of the time.
Your present contribution are used to pay current retirees and when you retired, our younger generation will be paying us.
So, why worry?
EPF are owned by government and government won't collapse, unless you got war. Even if it collapse, is that political party collapse.
So when this happens, trust funds will die first and you get nothing at all compare to EPF.

The funds in KWSP are guaranteed by the government..

The books on Akta KWSP can be bought at book stores..

On the other hand, if you are investing in unit trust, you dont have the same privilege..

foreign investments accounted for 23% of EPF total assets

better than zero exposure

Unlikely to happen. Petronas already start taking their own money to pay dividend.

M happy if EPF can declare 6.75% for 2015

oh petronasku.. Our National pride

Banks are retrenching their staffs. Is lucky that petronas still continue to hire people

Should i take out my epf to invest or...?

EPF pledges support for govt efforts to strengthen economy

Looks like more of our EPF money is going to MGS as Foreigners are exiting

With AS1M 2015 at 6.4%. Downward trend for 2 ASX so far.

EPF was 6.9% for 2014. Have a guess at its 2015 %.

My guess is 6.5% (jacked up a bit vs actual to give some element of positive sentiment for the general public). Ha.

Your view and reason?

Cheerio.

P/S Will compile EPF quarterly revenues, compare with previous years and see how 2015 stands out.
