PETALING JAYA: The public, especially those hit by the floods, are asking the government to allow another round of RM10,000 withdrawals under the i-Citra scheme from the Employees Provident Fund (EPF), says Umno Youth chief Datuk Dr Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki.

This is because the RM1,000 one-off cash aid provided by the government to flood victims was insufficient, he said, adding that asking affected Malaysians to take out bank loans to rebuild their lives would also put them in a difficult position.
