The Employees Provident Fund (EPF) will commence engagement programmes with key stakeholders and EPF members from April 20, 2015 on raising the EPF full withdrawal age.

In a statement today, EPF said the engagement programmes will cover areas of improvements and enhancements to current EPF services and offerings, as well as proposals for addressing issues related to the inadequacy of retirement savings for the long term.

Information on the proposals and options will be made available to the public on myEPF website (www.kwsp.gov.my) starting April 20.

EPF members will be able to provide input and comments on the proposals and options through the secure and confidential i-Akaun platform from April 21.

"The EPF assures that any major amendments or decisions made will always be in the best interests of its members and only after prior consultation with all key stakeholders," it said.
