Hi guys, I had became the viction of EPF. EPF has implemented a new rule for those wanna withdraw the money in acc 2 to buy the 1st house. If you havent marry with your partner and buy house together, pls forget about taking your EPF $$$$. Their new rule is they only will to approve the withdrawal of EPF $$$ if you can show them your marriage certificate. If not, all the application will be rejected. This is effective 5th Nov 2008.

BUT the problem is they never made any annoucement on this matter. No one know. No news published on newspaper, even until now KWSP website was not being updated. I had pay the 5% of downpayment to buy my dream house with my bf and when both of us went to apply to withdraw the $$$$ from EPF on 7th Nov, their officer never told us to wait for 3 weeks and we can see the $$$ in our account. However, on th 10th they called us saying our application cannot be processed. Now both of us cant get back our saving in EPF. I had appeal to them and now still waiting for their reply. Already 3 days passed, probably they have chunk my application to the dustbin.

I still need to pay the remaining 5% of DP to the owner. Because of this new rule all my plan ruined. Im now have a big head trying to find $$$$ to settle my problem..

Guys, in future if u guys plan to withdraw your $$$ from EPF to buy anything.... u guys better check with EPF whether they gonna implement any new rule or not. cz they NEVER inform us..... this is reali UNFAIR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
