IMO, if account 3 same dividend as account 1 and 2, what is the point of account 3 then?

Just make it easier to withdraw from account 2 then (like you can withdraw x% from account 2 once a year etc)

By your logic, what's the point of account 2 if it has same dividend as account 1? Just make it 30% of account 1 allowed to be withdraw for certain conditions.

Different functionality

Because account 1 money cannot be withdraw unless very specific circumstances (death, retirement, etc)

Account 2 was made so we could withdraw the money for certain purpose. Since account 2 was for the purpose of withdrawing money, let people withdraw from account 2 lor.

Why need account 3?

You already answered yourself. Topkek.

They already renamed them to Account Retirement, Account Sejahtera, Account Flexible. Which is quite clear.

Wait, you know that Acc 3 can be withdraw for whatever reason. Right?

A1 - withdraw due to explicit circumstances.
A2 - withdraw due to specific need, requires approval.
A3 - withdraw minimum RM50 anytime. no need someone to approve.

If you look more closely, account 3 IS necessary. Think of this way... if you can withdraw anytime.... people will start withdrawing like crazy and then account 2 would be empty in no time. You can try to put a condition that you must have a minimum amount inside, but what IS the minimum? RM 10? 100? 1000?

By creating account 3, basically you can withdraw all without any conditions.
*
Just change account 2 to have a maximum % you can withdraw.

Just the fact that there is account 3, and that account 3 is mandatory (why, in fact EPF should love it if more people opt out of account 3 and put in account 1/2 if same dividend), tell me account 3 dividend is going to be less.

I like to be proven wrong, but I don't think I am going to be.

I will put some money into Acc3.....in-case something CB happen.

BTW, money from Acc3 can transfer to Acc 1 / 2 as contribution.
I just put 10k in Acc3.
*
Sure or not?

I thought all personal contribution is also splited up by account 1 and 2 (before account 3 is announced).

Can pick which account to contribute?

It will split 1/3 from your account 2 into account 3.
My Account 3 after split from account 2 amount approx. Rm17k

Extra 7k will contibution back into Account 2

The split is not automatic one, I thought need to apply?

May 12 - August 31....This period you didnt do anything.....by Sept 1
Your Account 3 will remain zero forever.....EPF will remain old split at 70% account 1, 30% account 2.

Spacelion is probably talking about future contribution. He doesn't want to contribute to account 3.
