2% EPF for housewives

August 2018

Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah, who is also Women, Family and Community Development Minister, said the 2% contribution by the husbands to their non-working wives would be taken from the 11% they contributed to their own EPF account from their salary.

The proposal to pay Employees Provident Fund (EPF) contribution to housewives does not involve any additional deduction from the salary of their husbands, says Deputy Prime Minister Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail.

The 2% EPF contribution to housewives will be deducted directly from the spouse’s current 11% EPF contribution.
