EPF Introduces i-Sinar For Last Resort

EPF has announced a new scheme called i-Sinar, which will allow active members who have lost their jobs, or who have no source of income, to withdraw a certain amount from their EPF Account 1, depending on their existing account balances. The Morning Run team discusses the impact this will have on long-term retirement planning as well as Malaysia's capital markets, with comments from EPF CEO Tunku Alizakri Alias.
