Interestingly, many corporate secretaries charge or included in their fee, is their services to open up an account with EPF for you. However, I bravely took on this perceived challenge this week and was pleasantly surprised and PROUD of Malaysia, that it took me all of 7 minutes.

This is how it happened.

Rather than pay (since I’m one stingy Director), I called EPF to ask what was required to open an account. When I was told that all I needed was 3 documents, I asked her three times if she was absolutely sure because why then were people charging hundreds and sometimes thousands just to bring three documents to a Government office?

The Malay lady said, Oh, please! Don’t get anyone else to do it for you. It’s really simple. Just bring your documents and it will be settled immediately!

I was so skeptical.

Well, of course I had to fight traffic jams and parking problems at Jalan Raja Laut but I was determined, so brought baby and stroller and made a field day of it. We parked at the new CIMB building 100 meters down the road (which has a bitch of a car park maze but their friendly guards who helped me carry the stroller down stairs made up for it because surprise-surprise, we are such a disabled friendly nation!) and walked in the blazing sun to KWSP. I’ll tell you now that it certainly isn’t like pushing a stroller down Kensington Street!!! But we enjoyed it nevertheless.

As soon as I arrived at EPF, I got a number, waited 1 minute, got called to a counter, got served and was done in a total of 7 minutes. I timed it all as I was prepared to make news of it! But instead, they called my bluff. Go Malaysia!

So since everything happened so quick, I prolonged the service and asked for my own EPF details as well. Service was excellent. It really was. And after the 10 minutes of chit-chat, I brought baby up to the KWSP building food court (because I was frigging starving not having had breakfast by lunch time), and was so impressed to see a REALLY CLEAN food court!

Who’s in charge of EPF again? Well done for serving me well. Next stop – income tax department…..
