Yesterday, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob announced that the government has agreed to allow for another EPF withdrawal of up to RM10000 for Malaysians under 55 years old. This would be the fourth EPF withdrawal scheme since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic after i-Lestari, i-Sinar and i-Citra.

Since our country has been placed under MCO, it's not easy for people to visit places. Although the government offices are operating in hybrid mode (80% staff working from home), it's better if we can do things online. And that should include paying for EPF.

Just a few hours ago, the KWSP Malaysia (EPF) just tweeted on their account apologizing on the i-Sinar Online application status display error. According to folks online, many have received approval but for some reason, the status changed to in the process.
