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?

Malaysia Motor Insurance - No Claim Discount (NCD)

Do you know what is NCD? NCD is No Claim Discount and this is the thing that every people should know when buying car. If you are buying car for the first time or become the first time policyholder, then you will not have NCD for the first year on the road.

This No Claim Discount (NCD) is only given to the policy holders upon they renew their motor insurance if no claim was made against your policy within 12 months coverage. Let say if you free from any claim within the year, then you will be rewarded with a 25% NCD discount of your renewal premium next year. Else, your NCD for your car will be forfeited and falls back to 0%. In the other words, once you have claimed on the motor insurance then your NCD is gone.

For those existing car driver who is planning to change their car then they can transfer their current NCD to new car’s insurance, even if switch to another insurance company. However, the NCD is not transferable to another person. Let say you have 55% NCD for your existing car but you sold it and didn’t buy another car within 2 years then your 55% NCD will go down 2 levels become 38.33%.

NCD Is Not Just A Discount
