The interest is lower than inflation. I would recommend you extend this as far as possible. With these inflation rates, the time value for money favours the person that pays on time, not necessarily the person that pays the fastest.

I really think you shouldn't use your EPF money to settle your loan. Best to just pay monthly because PTPTN is a 1% interest loan and you're giving up returns of an average of 6% for a 1% loan.

If your amount of loan remaining is small though, I would recommend taking the 20% and using a credit card interest free payment to double back and repay it all in the next 12 months.
