Putrajaya’s plan to introduce a flexible account for Employees’ Provident Fund (EPF) members to withdraw a part of their monthly contributions, dubbed Account 3, has received pushback.

In a statement today, the Social Protection Contributors Advisory Association Malaysia (SPCAAM) regarded the plan as “irresponsible” as it would affect EPF members when they retire.
