Here’s how you can get access to your EPF Account 1 (updated)

PETALING JAYA: Some two million eligible contributors can now withdraw between RM9,000 and RM60,000 from Account 1 in the Employees Provident Fund (EPF) under i-Sinar.

They can start to withdraw the money from next month to help them deal with the Covid-19 pandemic economic fallout.

“After a thorough study and assessment, the EPF has taken the step to widen the scope of i-Sinar to cover active members who have lost their jobs, given no-pay leave, or have no other source of income, ” the fund said in a statement Monday (Nov 16).
