THE Employees Provident Fund (EPF) was established in 1951 to help the Malaysian workforce retire sustainably.
The government's support of gig workers and freelancers contributing to a retirement fund highlights how important the EPF is to workers' welfare.
However, a recent social media post said that EPF contributors aged 50 and above must claim their retirement funds before March 31,2025.
Is the post legitimate?
Verdict:
FALSE
The fake post only warns that EPF contributors aged 50 and above must claim their retirement funds before March 31, 2025 without reason or consequences.
EPF's official social media channels debunk the fake post with a simple statement: “Avoid being fooled by fake information and get information related to EPF only on the official EPF website and social media.”
