Epf is making changes to the already existing policy of 1.0M excess withdrawal and updating it 1.1 till 1.3M

Is a policy changes and can be determine by the epf board and it does not require to be set as a law

Policy changes vs law changes very different
Basically epf is quite powerful if today they decide to increase it until 2.0M we can't do much as this is within epf power

So don't play play with EPF

More like rakyat kena played by EPF from time to time

Good quote for your thoughts

First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist

Then they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist

Then they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist

Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew

Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me

A retirement fund is your own savings. money you contribute and invest for your future.
A social pension is government support to ensure basic income for the elderly, usually funded by taxpayers, not one's personal savings.

what's savings? no need to describe too much. retirement fund is your own savings.

Actually, I don't mind seeing withdrawal age changed to 75 even. Being locked longer is better... the people needs baby sitting.
EPF is such a small portion of my portfolio nowadays. lol

Overseas Malaysians would already have the host country's own version of retirement funds...like Superannuation in Oz, 401K in the states or CPF in SG.

Whether they need to maintain a sizable balance in EPF debatable, and really depends on their retirement plans. Specifically, if they intend to retire back in Malaysia. If they do, they are in luck as the geographical arbi already works in their favour and they may find EPF to be redundant.

If SG PR then back MY retire, even some SG citizens also wish to retire in JB!!!
