MTUC: EPF contributors hope for higher dividend

SHAH ALAM: Private sector workers are hoping for a higher dividend pay out by the Employees Provident Fund (EPF) this year to cope with the rising cost of living and the impact from the Goods and Services Tax (GST), said the Malaysian Trades Union Congress (MTUC).  

MTUC deputy secretary-general A. Balasubramaniam said the majority of the 10 million private sector workers were looking forward to a better dividend from the fund as it was the only source of savings for them.
