The Unexpected..

I cannot believe it that a government department is so darn efficient and fast! Today I went to withdraw money from KWSP / EPF and all it took me from start (taking number) to finish (confirmation letter from them) including time take to run around to photocopy some documents, all of 20 minutes! An they even started working before the stipulated working hours. Kudos to you, EPF!

For those who intend to withdraw money from EFP to buy their first home, here are some pointers.

1. Download their form 9C from their website and fill it up before going (The form is free btw).

2. Photocopy the following documents:
- Your Identity Card (MyKad); front and back on the same side using A4 paper.
- Your Sales & Purchase Agreement (SPA)
- Your active bank book; just the first page showing the acct number, IC etc.
- Title search showing the original owner of the house you intend to purchase

3. Bring all the originals of the above.

If you have forgotten to photocopy some documents, do not worry, there is a photocopy shop located at the back in the canteen area. And more information is available on their website, http://www.kwsp.gov.my/ Give their hotline a ring if you need to clear any doubts.

People there are friendly and helpful to my great surprise! Keep up the good work EPF!
