EPF declares 5% dividend.

Malaysia's Employees Provident Fund (EPF) has declared a dividend rate of five percent for 2005, an increase over the previous year's 4.75 percent.

What's your feelings towards this dividend? Satisfied or not satisfied?

And if you are a reader from another country, how does the Malaysian EPF dividend payout rate against your own country? Care to share some views and comments?

Oh, for those who withdraw some funds out from the EPF to invest in unit trusts or to invest in the stock market on their own, what's your feeling towards this 5% thingy? Is your own personal performance giving you a better return? Is your unit trust managers giving a much better return for your money? Time to re-evaluate your investments, eh?
