EPF Looks Forward To A Proper Resolution On Plus

KUALA LUMPUR, 11 October 2019: The Employees Provident Fund (EPF) takes note of the Government’s announcement on PLUS Malaysia Berhad (PLUS) at the tabling of Budget 2020, as well as the decision to reduce average toll charges by 18 per cent across all highways owned by PLUS.

EPF Chief Executive Officer Tunku Alizakri Alias said, “We take cognizance of the decision made and will hold discussions with the Government and Khazanah Nasional Berhad as soon as possible to ensure that any final resolution protects our members’ interests.”

“We are glad that this long-running matter will soon come to a satisfactory conclusion that takes into account our concerns and recognises the actual worth of this asset. We assure members that the EPF will not let go of PLUS for anything less than fair value.”

“PLUS has contributed significantly to the EPF both through financial returns as well as social benefits in the form of safe, convenient and comfortable highways for our members and Malaysians in general.”
