Is EPF investment in all these companies profitable or not ?
And why EPF keep paying low & lower dividend to their members
every year. 5-6% dividend is very low compare to its historical
dividend payout !
Even if profitable, it’s not necessary for them to gave high dividend
You mean if your money is mandatory given to a power entity to invest & it is alright you can expect it to pay you a peanut dividend even though the dividend cannot even beat the every year increase of inflationary rate with your purchasing power keep on decreasing until near zero. Is this what you expect and be so satisfy throughout your life when somebody is making a fool out of you with their irresponsible action ?
The dividend rate is decide by the EPF committee members. Not much you and me can do about it.
Do the EPF committee members really care to protect the interest of the majority of the member contributors without any avenue to voice out their dissatisfaction of some policies/decisions being made ?
