I wrote about this a while back and guess what? My missing EPF deductions are finally reflected in my account. My December 2006 to May 2007 deductions were finally deposited into my EPF account from as of end-July 2007.
I wrote quite a number of emails to EPF and they've stopped responding after the first three/four emails. So much about 'EPF Customer Service Charter', displayed prominently on their website.

Been busy over the last few weeks…
I have not been updating my blog for quite some time as I have been really busy, mainly due to the fact that I have just moved to a new job. When I started blogging, I told myself that I must try to update the blog at least once every week. But that’s not the case for the last few weeks.
Moving to a new job means that you must be ready to face new challenges and be prepared for them. As for me, I must say that my new job has been very hectic and there are a lot of new things to be discovered. Managing a new team with diverse background is another issue to be dealt with.
I can safely say that communication and people skill are the most important aspect that anybody can have – particular in this knowledge economy!

Japanese Housewives Win Right to Share of Ex-Husbands' Pensions
Read this on Bloomberg just now.
Quotable quote: ``Japanese men remain workaholics even at home, making their wives and children miserable,'' Yamana says. ``They need to realize wives want some communication, an occasional `I love you' or even just a `Thank you' now and then.''
There you go guys - tell your wife how much you love her! Thank her for the tasty meal! Everyday!

Free Internet Access? Anyone...
As Aisehman would put it - THIS IS GOOD S**T!
If you're in the US and Canada, 'Google TiSP: Going With The Flow' will give you free internet access, well ... (thunderous applause!) via the TOILET!
If we have it here in Boleh land, we can safely say that comments posted on blogs have gone thru serious S**T!

New Job
After spending slightly more than five years with my existing employer, I’m moving on to a new job.
My new employer has recently requested me to start work immediately – the very next day after my last day with my current employer. Was thinking of taking a few days off before starting – but that won’t be the case.
Another new beginning? I’m really hoping for the best – this time around.
Wish me luck!

Cheap Flight To UK?! Wait till next year…
I was beaming with glee when I read this piece of news in January this year. Flying to UK for RM9.99 (or below RM 1,000 each, for that matter) will be a dream-come-true for most people. The thought of taking my wife and our four lovely boys to Europe has crossed my mind numerous times but the pocket doesn’t allow it.
Well! Delay the thought for a bit longer… At least until next year! Read here and here.

EPF: What Happen to My Money???
Recently took a visit to our friendly EPF office. Reason? My EPF deductions weren’t credited into my old-age-retirement-fund since December 2006. Given that our EPF is buying into a bank, my wife and I (plus a few millions other contributors) are a bit worried
Spent more than a few minutes there (more like two hours)! Not like the time I went to the nearest Post Office to change my ‘kawasan mengundi’. After seeing their friendly customer service officer on the ground floor, I was a given a piece of paper and was asked to go and have a chat with another officer on the second floor. Took the lift up to second floor but was told that ‘Bahagian Caruman dah pindah ke tingkat satu, Bang! (The Contribution Department has moved to the first floor)’ and I need to go down to first floor. Took the lift again (need to conserve my energy to talk to this ‘Bahagian Caruman’), passed the piece of paper to one of the two girls sitting leisurely at the first floor counter and was asked to take a sit.
Waited for about 30 minutes before an officer told me that there was something wrong with the diskette that was submitted by my employer and they have written asking my employer to resubmit the diskette. Seems that there are thousand of employers affected – deductions not credited into their employees’ EPF account – as EPF is currently upgrading their system. The thought of ‘Mana Ada System’ crossed my mind but this is EPF and not Malaysia Airlines.
Until today, my EPF deductions (plus millions others?!) are still not credited into my account. I have been login in into their i-Akaun almost daily to check on this. Tried calling their call center this morning and was told to ‘bersabar dan komplen Abang akan dipanjangkan ke Bahagian Caruman (Please be patient as we will forward your complaint to the Contribution Department)’.

Just noticed this in EPF's website:
The EPF's Pledge To Customer
Payment Of Contributions
We will credit the payment of contributions into the member's account within 21 working days from the date of receipt of the payment.
I guess EPF has failed to uphold its pledge to customer as my contribution for December (i.e. November's salary) hasn't been credited to my account as of today eventhough the officer confirmed that EPF has received the payment in December 2006.
