 KUALA LUMPUR: For freelancers and online entrepreneurs, it’s never too soon to start saving for retirement.

This fastest-growing segment of the job market is left out of the formal social security coverage. To encourage the self-employed people to plan for their future, the Employees Provident Fund (EPF) is calling on the government to provide more incentives under the 1Malaysia Retirement Savings Scheme (SSP1M).
