Chong: Don’t deal with ‘withdrawal agents’


MCA Public Services and Complaints Department chief Datuk Seri Michael Chong.

PETALING JAYA: Desperate to pay off money he owed relatives, a businessman approached a withdrawal “agent” online who claimed to be able to help him take out savings from his Employees Provident Fund (EPF) account before the mandatory retirement age.

The 38-year-old from Negri Sembilan, who wanted to be known only as Fauzi, said he contacted the agent after reading a post on Facebook about pre-retirement EPF withdrawals.
