About Age 55 Withdrawal

Upon reaching age 55, the contributions made to your Account 1 and Account 2 will be consolidated into Account 55. You can withdraw all or part of the savings from this account at any time. Should you choose to continue working after the age of 55, all further contributions you make will be credited in your Akaun Emas, to be withdrawn only upon reaching age 60.

Pensionable employees in government services

Before applying for this withdrawal, please be advised to ensure that the governments share has been returned to the Retirement Fund through your early government share calculation (Pre-PEN) application. This is to ensure that the government share has been returned to Retirement Fund (Incorporated) (KWAP) for gratuity and pension purposes.

For applicants aged 55 can apply for this withdrawal and Pre-PEN simultaneously. You may then withdraw the balance available in Akaun 55 and Akaun Emas after the return of the government share.
