Why are citizens whose age exceeds 75 years not allowed to continue making self contribution to their EPF savings? Shouldn't it be that the older they get, the more the senior citizens need the help of EPF
to manage their savingss?

For 2023, ASB declared 4.25% dividend and for 2024, it was 5.5% dividend. Set the bonus component aside because it's not related to fund performance. ASB increased its dividend rate by 1.25%.
KWSP on the other hand declared dividend of 5.4-5.5% for FY2023. Given KWSP higher exposure to international investments, it should at least match ASB's increase of 1.25%. KWSP should pay dividend of at least around 6.5-6.6% for FY2024.

To say public trust in a financial institution's ability is declining without supporting evidence could amount to libel.
To demand higher EPF dividends without demanding better salaries shows bias.

Epf can go for 6.85% - 7.2% ? 🦾🦾
