'People need cash now, not in 15 years': Ismail Sabri echoes Perikatan's calls for another round of EPF withdrawals


KUALA LUMPUR: Putrajaya should allow another round of Employees Provident Fund (EPF) withdrawals instead of crediting RM500 into the retirement funds of those with less than RM10,000, says Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob (BN-Bera).

The former prime minister, while thanking the government for the cash injection into the retirement funds, added that this did not solve the issue of many Malaysians being cash-strapped.
