The Employees Provident Fund (EPF) declared yesterday 6 per cent dividend, its highest in a decade after making profits of RM27.24 billion last year. 10 year back the dividend is higher around 8% so it mean that Malaysia EPF fund had been manage inefficiently.

If the 1st Account money can be invest fully in blue chip by us I think sure my dividend will more than 8%.

One wonders how EPF spends? 6% isn't that great when you have so much of money for quality investments. Yes agree with Durian Edge, even the average informed laymen cud muster that by themselves.

Perhaps the rest of the profits needed for "emergency" aka bailouts...

If mutual funds can give good returns why not EPF?
