When you reach the age of 55, you officially enter your retirement age. After years of accumulating retirement savings, you have the option to either make a full withdrawal or a flexible withdrawal.

About Age 55 Withdrawal​

Upon reaching age 55, the contributions made to your Akaun Persaraan, Akaun Sejahtera and Akaun Fleksibel will be consolidated into Akaun 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to continue working after the age of 55, all further contributions you make will be credited in your Akaun Emas, to be withdrawn only upon reaching age 60.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
