Still can opt to buy the house in single name (either one), still a way out if can't get EPF money.

Added on December 16, 2008, 3:26 pmthis is also another solution... but since they have signed the s&p and the bank loan...so if they changed the house to single name..meaning they have to spend few K on the stamping & lawyer fees again...

Added on March 4, 2009, 10:51 amEPF new record. Joint withdrawal 2x cheques are released within 2 weeks of submission. Previous around 3 weeks.

It is our 3rd/4th withdrawal. No JPN marriage cert. Only submit form, bank loan balance letter, photocopy IC and thumbprints. No need S&P, etc.

The officer asked for marriage cert that day, we say "tak ada", which may mean we did not bring or don't have

Cheque is address to our bank and account no. Not my name. Will bank in today

Sorry for bumping up old thread but this could be useful info for some people.

EPF just changed their rules on withdrawing EPF account II fund for purchasing house with someone that has no kinship.
Right now you can buy house with your girlfriend as long as both person are the house buyers and borrowers.

Random question. Is it possible to put property on single wife's name, and also withdraw from my EPF? Or must be joint name then only I can withdraw?

thanks for sharingg..appreciate it so much!

@taitianhin, your application really fast, mind to share which branch?
