Make sure your EPF account don't have employer number... Clear that up. Make it empty blank...

Then register i-saraan

Guess easiest way is to online register and see if it will get approved

Not for me as for now....

60k also cannot maximize 😔
So how to hit the 100k target...

As for the rate...

I'm looking at least minimum of 5% to maximum of 5.5%

Higher rate... I'm happy 😁

well...

he said not enough $$$ for retirements.... only have like 1k per month for 20 years  devil.gif

yet some parties asking for 10k special withdraws.......
*
Jusr wonder how he came out with the #

If just pluck in general then not really showing the real picture

For example, I know someone having not much in EPF because he / she is a Gov servant and the EPF contributed was during the waiting period to be converted to pension scheme and now already in pension scheme sure no more additional inflow from salary

And of course there are many other cases like employees became employers and stopped contributing etc.

If these are also included sure diluted the #, but I know... not easy to seggregate these pool of ppl from total contributors

QUOTE(faizfizy39 @ Jul 5 2023, 04:30 PM)
So what do you guys think? Good? Bad?
*
Bad for myself

I have self dicipline so I am not the typ that need to be forced but this will take away my flexibility and cash liquidity when I reach 55yo

QUOTE(Wedchar2912 @ Jul 5 2023, 10:35 PM)
If all EPF wanted to do is to hold RM 240K at age 55 and gradually reduces the holding amount down until say age 80, go ahead. It may be a decent thing to do to help many poor retirees.
Those of us who planned properly for retirement knows that RM 240K in a safe FD earning decent rates is a form of diversification and should not worry much.

But before they implement this, EPF should make sure none of those special withdrawals ever happen again... if want to happen also must charge penalty like 15% on special withdrawals....
*
I don't think it will go until 80... max is 60yo or worst 70yo

Average Msians only live up to 70+ devil.gif

But that's too early to say because they only 'study' and you know some studies you will always hear the thunder but never rain

And EPF I don't think they can 'confirm plus chop' that special withdrawal will not happen as you know... if another side took over then this will surely happen

QUOTE(ikanbilis @ Jul 5 2023, 11:07 PM)
That is why i refuse to self contribute any more savings into epf after so much political interference with the fund. Imagine you have an emergency and epf tell you that you can only take out rm1k per month until 75 years old. My money, i want to be able to take out anytime i want after 55yo. bruce.gif

Ya if you have self dicipline that really takes away freedom, flexibility and liquidity

I can tell you there are many such people

I personally know someone who is retired drawing good sum of monthly pension

And don't forget before pension got big amount of golden handshake

Spent it all and also yolo the monthly pension until even need the kids to continue 'subsidise' the fella

Yet got the face to 'advice' me don't be a slave to money

All I can say is, tak tahu malu + kesian the kids

Nowadays don't assume can be employed for 35 years. 40 years old either your company will push you out or your body will tell you to get out.

Yes

Some more want to dream drawing salary of RM28k at 60

Just look at the stat already told us what are the possibility for someone working in Malaysia

Everyday browsing this forum sure see some people's job here are just dreaming everyday of retiring in millions

That's the thing...

Why only for 2 month instead of usual 6 month..... I hope EPF or government issued some statement to clear everyone doubts..... For now it's everyone keep speculating various reasons on the non payment thingy....

And yes... It's very valuable lessons for everyone.... Try to deposit max to get the rm500.... Future on....

I know some already caught off guard on this delayed payout....  Because previous cutoffs month is June ending....

Govt cashflow for October very tight need to manage properly grin.gif

1. Early salary payout to their beloved civil servants
2. Early STR payout to their beloved B40s

both thanks to Happy Deepavali

Next batch the latter will get theirs

Like this also can ahhh...

Having cash flow issues.... Such shame if indeed true....  Seriously don't know how to manage....

Then should just pay in November like in 2023??? Already waiting so long... Another 1 month won't really make big difference....
*
I just listing out what are the major cashout they have this month, yes salary is still a monthly thing. Afterall they have the right to pay by batch or later even they have spare cash (or did they mentioned in T&C must pay in Oct?)

Okay lah since you said 2023 they only paid you in November then this time already good news for those who had gotten (Bersyukur grin.gif)

The rest have to wait a bit then

I don't think mentioned anywhere saying need to pay in specific time...

Some years they paid in August... Some in November.... So it's not fixed....

oklah let's see the next batch if anybody getting will report here so you'll know the new trend

QUOTE(nexona88 @ Oct 27 2025, 06:02 PM)
You're not alone...

Some other also caught off guard with this new payout thingy...

Sudden this year got changes.... Many of us don't know the actual reason why like this....

Many speculating it's because of financial issues @ cash flows on gomen side....

🤔🧐

ok better stop speculation later kena angkut grin.gif
