I heard a lot of forumer keep on discussing about this issue recently - KWSP steal citizen money! KWSP allow monthly withdrawal from EPF account 2 for the monthly housing loan repayment. But, from their discussion, some of them said that the withdrawal plan is actually a SCAM! I am sure you will feel keen to know more on this issue, right? Let me share with you what I’ve heard:

We take an assumption here:

If you have RM50,000 in your EPF account 2 and your monthly housing loan’s installment is RM1000/month. KWSP will approve your application of withdrawal from your EPF account 2 of RM50,000 and pay you RM1000/month for the next 50 months.

The only thing that KWSP did not inform us in detail is that when the application was approved, will the total amount RM50,000 is removed from EPF account 2? In the other words, it appears to be transferred to an unknown account to effect the monthly payment?

Earlier Retirement via Property Investment

Many of my friends who did not have higher education are all to be more adventurous and grab any golden opportunity to earn a higher income in a strong currency. Most of them went to working oversea as they think that the amount that earns working overseas in 1 year is almost equivalent to at least 3-5 years of working in Malaysia.

I hope one day I managed to accumulate extra income over RM10k per month to allow me to retire comfortably. I have promised myself that my goal is to retire debt free, which is before the age of 65. But now, I have changed my mind and set higher target, which must achieve it within the next 10 years by just property investment.
