with epf liquidating their london property this year should still be fine...but who knows next years... now that they lost some of their future pound denominated incomes, better withdraw if possible. bank staffs that have dealing with govt depts all advise me to withdraw anything to do with govt, whether epf or tabung haji or amanah saham, they say too dangerous current situation. later got donation sweat.gif

6.40 % is really good in this period. I just wonder how they do it. No complaints though !

Seems like EPF is now a pretty good option to stash savings, as long as we're willing to wait until retirement to access it.

hmm.gif they still have many more properties to sell  biggrin.gif

Malaysia's state pension fund, the Employee Provident Fund (EPF), has sold its property at One Sheldon Square in London's Paddington Central to British Land Company Plc for £210 million.
The deal also marks EPF's first property disposal in the U.K. EPF, the world's sixth-largest pension pool, also owns real estate in Germany and France.

good for short term but long term... sad.gif they repatriating everything to MY to prop up the economy. is right la but in future if all earning and investment in RM, hard to ride out the future storms. hope when situation stable epf goes back overseas to buy again.

Sorry, I like to play with numbers.

That work out to be on average RM70k and RM50k per EPF ac for 2015 & 2014 respectively.

I expected the "rich" ones to leave the country.

Please don't hammer me saying that the rich ones do not put their money in EPF! Ha.

rich dint bother about epf. which is to say they hedge their bets. they probably wont give up citizenship here but have PR. usually in singapore Australia and thailand. so their epf still here.
