Deputy Finance Minister Mohd Shahar Abdullah said a total of RM101bil has been withdrawn under the i-Lestari, i-Sinar, and i-Citra stimulus packages since the pandemic began last year.
Once the amount is replenished, Shahar said EPF will go back to its previous system of 70% in Account 1 and 30% in Account 2.
