EPF chief Shahril will not commit on which fund he will invest in


EPF chief executive officer Datuk Shahril Ridza Ridzuan said the EPF reported a 101.27% increase in the usage of i-Akaun to 3.33 million in Q2 2015 from 1.65 million a year ago.

KUALA LUMPUR: The unassuming and affable Datuk Shahril Ridza Ridzuan, the chief executive officer of the Employees Provident Fund (EPF), for once did not have an answer to a question.

He was asked on his choice of which fund he would put his savings into – the conventional or syariah-compliant fund?
