PETALING JAYA: The Employees Provident Fund (EPF) has launched i-Lindung Phase 2 under the Members Protection Plan, allowing members to use the funds in their Account 2 to buy life and critical-illness insurance and takaful products for their immediate family members.

Based on the encouraging response, the nation’s largest pension fund introduced key upgrades focusing on policy and certificate management, geared for extended coverage exceeding one year.
