KUALA LUMPUR: With median savings down to between RM3,300 and RM5,000 among Employees Provident Fund’s (EPF) low-income contributors, the government is adamant about not allowing another round of special withdrawals.
Deputy Finance Minister I Datuk Seri Ahmad Maslan said some 8.1 million EPF members had seen their median savings reduced by 50% in 2022 during the Covid-19 pandemic when special withdrawals were allowed.
