It’s a fair rate, says MTUC

PETALING JAYA: The EPF dividends rate for 2019 is relatively fair considering the pressing economic challenges in Malaysia and globally, says the Malaysian Trades Union Congress (MTUC).

Its president Datuk Abdul Halim Mansor said while MTUC was not entirely satisfied with the rate of 5.45%, he noted EPF’s heavy responsibility in deciding the rate based on the returns from its investments, impacted by economic uncertainties.
