It might bring klse <1000. Then everyone lose.

Unlikely that will happen 1st 🤦‍♀️

EPF will liquidate the highest return assets which are foreign equities and even Bursa portion is low by standards now because overseas equities by amount is higher than Bursa holdings

What I know...

The assets allocation...
Majority still in Malaysia especially in Bursa Malaysia....

Now foreign assets already above 50%???
Don't think gomen even allowed that to happen...

Probably around 30% to 40% of total assets is possible 🙏
*
47% is in MGS coupled with local equities it should be around 55% plus MMF it should be close to 60%

You forget to include to local REITs as well

Foreign equities and REITs as somewhere close to 40% range if not slightly otherwise where you think your 5%+ plus dividends is from these days 🤦‍♀️

Just as I speculated 😁

Malaysia asset is majority...

Yup...
Foreign asset $$$ is the one helping out...
Just look at ASMx... Foreign assets very minimal... Dividends also much lower...
*
As long as under EPF Act saying that max of 50% has to be in MGS it will be no matter still invested locally 🤦‍♀️

EPF becoming cash cow for MGS  bruce.gif

higher self contribution limit... more subscription to MGS  devil.gif
*
Now as cash cow as it was like before the 90s 🤦‍♀️

Before that almost 90% goes to MGS

Not necessary true that higher contribution limit goes to MGS 🤦‍♀️ EPF needs more cash to settle upcoming projects more and keep a buffer to buy more this year if the markets turns

some speculation going on saying the additional $$$ contribution limit for upcoming special withdrawals.... probably when the 6 states election time to fish votes  devil.gif

Possible but high unlikely 🤦‍♀️ otherwise all NGOs will come out and condemn Anwar particularly TI

PMX is already out of ideas and desperate while putting a face on it with his vandetta against PM7 🤦‍♀️

EPF should stay out such nonsense by allowing a rm3k contingency withdrawal at anytime for those who have more than rm50k in account 2 otherwise this cycle will never end 🤦‍♀️

imho... best way epf to retain $$$... at 55/>1mil give ppl 'epf debit' card... zero fee withdrawal at any atm... 'casa' @ >5% where can get... hahaha
*
Worst decision as EPF would have to maintain the debit facility and incurred more expenses maintaining such system as it is need to be closed and live system 🤦‍♀️

Leave EPF now as a closed loop system otherwise it will be more susceptible to cyber hacking 🤦‍♀️

And it would cost more to have zero fee withdrawal as they would have to bear the expenses and pay the banks out instead 🤦‍♀️

i'm still worried about tiered dividend..I would like to topup for self contribution but if I put then suddenly next year kena tiered dividend I kinda "rugi" in a way that I can't easily take out my money that I put in/invested already...are you guys in a holding pattern playing wait-and-see if tiered dividend ends up coming our way or just go ahead and self-contribute regardless and worry later?
*
Why you so worried about something you can’t control 🤦‍♀️

Like said before for tiers dividends in place it would have to be amended in EPF Act and with current mixed govt no possibility for this pass unless you would have a solid en bloc 2/3 majority govt which is not possible in the next 10 years 🤦‍♀️

good points and make sense. yeah will likely just self-contribute then since wont go through so easily - thanks for sharing!

Sometimes don’t worry so much about things you can’t control

If you worried you can put a smaller portion instead of a full portion

yes somebody needs to eat the cost... but drop in the ocean lah for epf...

can be managed as prepaid system... at risk only the wallet amount... or outsource or intergrate with say tng...

anyways not their mandate... and no need for us to solve a non existing problem...
*
The cost will pass it to the members but the maintainence of entire system will be near by EPF

Instead on spending such system better off EPF to distribute full and actual performance dividends instead of current board approval and minister signed dividends instead 🤦‍♀️

y'all missing the big picture that i didn't care to explain earlier... hahaha sweat.gif

we know epf have to standby 20b every year for >50/55 mass exodus/withdrawal... so perhaps having a pseudo bank easy debit card/wallet scheme can retain some fraction of this 20b for reinvestment, this will generate extra income that can offset cost of running this scheme... and perhaps more div to us eventually... if wise can give 2 free atm withdrawals per month, and all the free ewallets abound... am sure epf can do too...

maybe just do like cpf tier system... giving older folks more div as incentive to keep $ longer there... but this goes against the robin hood tiering m40 wants...

but anyways, main issue is our own psychology... epf is a forbidden fruit for 30+ yrs can see cannot touch until 55... a lot of ppl will just grab when available... but as more and more ppl get financial savvy... it might become viable someday... but gov needs to fix the low wage problem first...
*
The easiest way if EPF doesn’t retirement withdrawals is very simple just give extra 1% for those above 55 who still increasing AUM by 20% yearly then you probably stem the flow of mass withdrawal

ATM for the seniors is too dangerous as they can be robbed or forced or scammed into withdrawing the entire amount

A even better solution is to use prepaid or store value card instead for them to purchase groceries and for medical

Or those curious cats 🤦‍♀️

Those already reach more than 1million won’t not be bothered where the money is withdraw from which account so as long as they are able to withdraw to the sum they want 🤦‍♀️

So you are saying all lyn formers won't have more than RM1M in their kwsp? 😂

Lyn forum especially finance and business section has a lot of valuable info, even for a multi millionaire.
*
If they have it already they won’t be asking but will withdraw 1st rather than asking 🤦‍♀️ as those asking mostly are curious cats not eligible

QUOTE(romuluz777 @ Apr 26 2023, 07:17 PM)
Exactly, and those who are concerned about which account it comes from are the lesser sub-1M folks who need to watch out for every cent that can be squeezed out from their EPF accounts.
*
That’s why those folks are most curious when we all know that once have a million you will start withdrawing even without asking because they know that are able to do it for countless times in the future

Not all are qualified with pensions 🤦‍♀️ only those who have served 3 terms will qualify for it

Remember the other privileges whereby the whole family get a yearly free holiday at the expense taxpayers 🤦‍♀️ that’s the bigger meat that they want instead

Probably used the $$$ for projects bailouts...

Or forced to subscribe the unlimited MGS....
*
Used to bailout projects is nothing 🤦‍♀️ MGS cannot be unlimited subscription because EPF Act stated that MGS cannot exceed 50% AUM at anytime 🤦‍♀️ unless minister tabled in Parliament to amend the Act

You should be more worried that other GLCs will start raiding EPF for unguaranteed loans which they are definitely gonna be defaulting after that 🤦‍♀️ as already proven in the past with those write downs even though sum is only mere millions

This is new to me??

EPF giving out loans or what?
Backdoor underground dealing between GLC & EPF?
No assets by GLC to backed the loans right?
*
What asset to back at the 1st place 🤦‍♀️ when the GLC is a SPV setup by the govt 🤦‍♀️

Go search for this company Pembinaan PFI Sdn Bhd

Slow & steady?  Malaysia style 😁

EPF really went deep.... That's really epic....

Because it is hidden under guise of MOF 🤦‍♀️

QUOTE(Wedchar2912 @ Apr 29 2023, 09:08 PM)
the real question is not what all these shenanigans are, but whether the loans were guaranteed or collateralized somehow. Usually Epf would require some form of gov guarantee...

the collaterals and guarantees are the key here.
*
The loans are not guaranteed 🤦‍♀️ go read the auditor general report as the previous auditor reported it and it swept under the carpet by PM6 🤦‍♀️

bettter to withdraw and dump into epf and asm?

Better split 4 ways instead with EPF self contribution is to reduce your tax being paid to IRB, ASM, Bursa Dividend stocks and long term foreign ETFs to diversify instead of having concentration risk in putting all in
