The Myanmar Embassy in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, has announced that Myanmar workers in Malaysia can withdraw their employee support savings.
Myanmar workers have reportedly contributed to EPF savings under the Employee Provident Fund Act of 1991 in Malaysia.
According to the statement of the embassy, the Myanmar citizens who deposited their savings returned to Myanmar without withdrawing their savings.
Therefore, the Employees’ Provident Fund (EPF) stated that the savings of members who have not added savings for three consecutive years will be transferred to the Unclaimed Money Management Division (BWTD).
In addition, the statement mentioned that Myanmar nationals who have deposited EPF savings can withdraw their savings before returning to their country, and those who returned to Myanmar without withdrawing the savings can submit the necessary documents to EPF or BWTD to withdraw them. Myanmar nationals who have deposited EPF savings can visit the EPF website at www.kwsp.gov.my if they want to enquire about their savings. — TWA/CT
