Son, can't remember when did I make a blunder. Must have been a long time.

If I make a blunder, I would have thank the person pointing out my blunder. He tought me something and I am grateful

Not like some impolite person asking back a question passing as an answer  biggrin.gif

Sure.. only if Msia "overseas" investment is substantial enough to earn a lot more
and the ringgit devalues further against the foreign currencies, then surely it will translate into higher
earnings when converted back into Ringgit.

But, then again. It can go both ways. If Ringgit appreciates again, earnings from abroad will be lesser..
thus, don't be mad if dividends will go lower.

Here's the thing a lot of people don't realised. There is a MANDATORY requirement, at minimum,
dividends at 2% is GUARANTEED. This is regardless of EPF making money or not.
EPF could potentially run into problem (with negative revenue) if there is a severe world wide recession that runs multiple years.  So far, EPF is very lucky, none of them has happened.

Given rm historical record, it is on downtrend for the last 30 years and likely to continue for another 30 years unless there is a change of gomen and policy.

In the event of world wide recession, which is unlikely in the foreseeable future, there are better instrument than rm for wealth preservation.

Unlikely sufficient to compensate for RM devaluation for the past year.
