the reason is inflation rate exceeded EPF return.
for example: government always bullshit us, telling us inflation is low. 1. But suddenly insurance wants to hike premium 10% per year, continuously for minimum 3 years 2. EPF suddenly release, minimum required savings. the amount increased from 20% to 50% (I cant remember exact percentage, its so damning) Its like government got caught lying with its pants down |

QUOTE(john123x @ Jun 4 2025, 08:41 PM) the reason is inflation rate exceeded EPF return. 1. not everyone buys insurance, it is not your standard basket of goods to calculate inflationfor example: government always bullshit us, telling us inflation is low. 1. But suddenly insurance wants to hike premium 10% per year, continuously for minimum 3 years 2. EPF suddenly release, minimum required savings. the amount increased from 20% to 50% (I cant remember exact percentage, its so damning) Its like government got caught lying with its pants down 2. minimum required savings has only partial relation with inflation, another factor to consider is a the increasing longevity and ageing society in Malaysia. So your irrational tin-foil hat about "govt lying" is not backed up with facts |

In 1960, everyone can afford to retire coz their life expectancy used ro be like 60 y.o.
Now some people can't afford to retire because they simply live too long. |

That is why I don't want to retire. Not even 70 years old. I mean, I don't want to rely on saving for retirement. I'm not a businessman. I'm a salary man. And I need my salary for my whole life. Please ban retirement age.

QUOTE(soul78 @ Jun 4 2025, 08:36 PM) Can't afford to retire is one thing.Next they're going to make the unofficial retirement age even earlier with private companies now cutting off hiring age at 35-40yo and implementing routine retrenchment cycle every year targeting the older/senior staffs. |
