The Social Protection Contributors Advisory Association Malaysia (SPCAAM) has proposed that workers be allowed to work up to age 65 of their own volition.

Its international labour adviser Callistus Antony D’Angelus pointed to the recent heated debates on Employees Providence Fund (EPF) withdrawals, which highlighted that many workers may benefit from a flexible approach.
