KWSP members launched an online petition through Facebook to request the resignation of Finance Minister Tengku Zafrul!
According to the Change.org online signature, a group of netizens claiming to be the KWSP launched an online signature to appeal to the head of state to resign from Tengku Zafrul’s post as finance minister.
The online joint sign pointed out that Finance Minister Tengku Zafrul is not an elected member of parliament, so he can recklessly refuse to withdraw his EPF deposits. The online joint also alleges that Tengku Zafrul has denied EPF members’ rights under Section 54(K), (L), and (M) of the EPF Act 1991, which is to withdraw funds if necessary.
The online joint list listed the reasons why Tengku Zafrul should resign, that is, Zafra has violated the instructions of the head of state on November 13 last year, and the government should listen to the people’s suggestions and demands.
Earlier, Finance Minister Tengku Zafrul pointed out in an exclusive interview with Sunshine Daily that there is indeed a group of people in the ruling party who are trying to get a one-time withdrawal of RM10,000 from the provident fund, and he would rather resign than make a wrong decision compromise.
Tengku Zafrul said re-approving CPF withdrawals would be of no use to the people and would have a negative impact on those who have fewer CPF accounts. Tengku Zafrul revealed that this is not just a question of provident fund withdrawals, but a question of right and wrong, and the government has no reason to compromise.
