KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama): Finance Minister Lim Guan Eng said on Saturday (Aug 10) that he has instructed the ministry to investigate a claim that the Malaysian National News Agency (Bernama) had used contributions meant for the Employees Provident Fund (EPF) to pay the July salary of its staff.

He said the probe is necessary to determine who should assume responsibility for this serious situation and also for restricting the payment of the EPF contributions so that appropriate action can be taken.

Lim said the Finance Ministry took a serious view of the claim, given that the facts pertaining to the issue are to the contrary. According to a news portal report on Friday , Bernama allegedly faced financial constraints which affected the contributions to the EPF and the repayment of loans of the staff despite the salary deductions having been made.
