No more EPF withdrawals, says PM


PETALING JAYA: Putrajaya will not change its stance of not allowing more withdrawals from the Employees Provident Fund (EPF) despite six state elections looming around the corner, says Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

The Prime Minister also said that the government is firm in this stance, even as he is confident that requests for premature EPF withdrawals will be used by some to score political points at the upcoming state polls.
