EPF's One-Off RM500 Contribution

Jan 10, 2024

The EPF says over RM700m has been credited into retirement savings of some 1.4 million contributors who are nearing retirement age.   

It's under a one-off scheme that was announced under the unity government's revised Budget 2023, which was tabled back in February last year.   

It sees RM500 being credited into the EPF accounts of contributors between the ages of 40 and 55 who had savings of RM10,000 or less in their Account 1.

A teacher who allegedly insulted an autistic pupil in Sabah recently has been reassigned to another class.  

The Sabah Education Department says she has also been ordered to undergo counselling at the district education office.  

According to earlier reports, the teacher body-shamed the student and made other derogatory comments, which were accidentally shared to a Parent-Teacher WhatsApp group.  

The student's father managed to screenshot the comments before they were deleted and shared them on social media, causing a huge uproar.
