EPF has announced a 5.8% dividend for the coming year. This is one of the best rates for many years. I thought people would be happy. Maybe the government thought the people would be happy with the announcement.
But too bad. Over the 8pm English news, NTV7 conducted a poll: whether the 5.8 percent is fair? Well I thought over 50 percent of the respondents would be happy and say it is fair. No, no, NO. At the end of the news segment, NTV7 announced the results of the half-an-hour poll. Ninety percent said the 5.8percent interest rate is NOT FAIR! Only 10 percent thought otrherwise.
With such a mood, it would be a surprise for PM to call for a snap poll, don’t you think so?
