You will definitely need a place to live and enough money to cater for expense such as day-to-day expenditure as well as some ‘reserves’ to take care of unplanned needs such as medical bills and emergencies. Depending on the lifestyle you are used to, you may have a longer list. IMPORTANCE & FITFALLS Importance of Retirement Planning • To live a comfortable standard of living during retirement • To determine level of income needed during retirement Pitfalls to Sound Retirement Planning • Start to late • Put away too little • Invest too conservatively PLANNING FOR RETIREMENT One thing that you don’t need when you retire is unsettled debts. This is all the more reason for you to start planning for your retirement early. As you work towards securing all that you want to have in your retirement years, you may need to take up loans to finance your purchases. Ideally, all these loans should be settled by the time you retire so that you will be free of debt. PLANNING FOR RETIREMENT Employers Insurance companies Retirement plans may be set up by: The government or other institutions Personal investment Employees Providence Funds (EPF) PLANNING FOR RETIREMENT • In Malaysia, one piece of good news is that the Employees Providence Fund (EPF) can help. • Although your EPF savings is primarily meant for your use in your retirement years, you are allowed to utilize part of the savings to help you prepare for that eventuality. OVERVIEW OF THE EPF The EPF is a social security institution formed according to the Laws of Malaysia, Employees Provident Fund Act 1991 (Act 452) EPF provides retirement benefits for members through management of their savings in an efficient and reliable manner. EPF also provides a convenient framework for employers to meet their statutory and moral obligations to their employees. WHO ARE EPF MEMBERS? Private and NonPensionable Public Sector employees. The EPF, as at December 2015, has a total of 14.55 million members. The total number of active and contributing members is 6.79 million. The total number of active employers is 536,489. EPF MANDATORY CONTRIBUTION A contribution constitutes the amount of money credited to members' individual accounts in the EPF. The amount is calculated based on the monthly wages of an employee. Current contribution rate is in accordance with wage/salary received. For employees who receive wages/salary of RM5,000 and below, the portion of employee's contribution is 11% of their monthly salary while the employer contributes 13%. For employees who receive wages/salary exceeding RM5,000 the employee's contribution of 11% remains, while the employer's contribution is 12% EPF INVESTMENT ALLOCATION • Your monthly contributions are invested in a number of approved financial instruments to generate income. • They include Malaysian Government Securities, Money Market Instruments, Loans & Bonds, Equity and Property. EPF DIVIDENDS • The EPF ensures that your savings are secure and receive reasonable dividends. • In fact, it guarantees a minimum of 2.5 Per Cent Dividend annually. • To ensure dividend payments, the EPF invests your contribution in approved financial instruments for optimum returns. • Dividends are paid annually into your account.

As an employee, you are required to contribute to the EPF under the EPF Laws, which are intended to protect your interest beyond your working life.
