Jeffrery Ngui, Chairman of Parti Muda Sarawak
*Gov must listen to the people, meet the people to understand the economic difficulties*
The government has an obligation to protect the people, especially those at risk such as Employees Provident Fund (EPF) contributors who do not have enough savings for their old age, says Economy Minister Rafizi Ramli.
Jeffrery Ngui comment that, If there is any other way to replace the people to take EPF money to solve the immediate problems, please do it.
He believes that the people are now facing economic difficulties, whether it is dealing with daily life, or various car loans, housing loans, etc., so he urges the government to provide solutions to help the people tide over the difficulties.
Bank loans are not easy to apply for and approve, he said. As a result, many private loan companies have risen, allowing people to easily obtain loans with high interest rates to obtain emergency cash, but this will only make the people more and more miserable.
However, he also agrees that many people apply for EPF not for emergencies, and some people apply for cars and gold, which is not an emergency at all.
He said that the government must go to the crowd to understand how ordinary people view the current economic situation. He said, especially businesses, street vendors, or migrant workers, most of them will tell that business is bad and the economy is bad.
He urged the government to prohibit the people from using their own money for emergencies, then it must provide a comprehensive auxiliary method to help the people overcome difficulties,

Mr George from Baram
*If possible, try not to use EPF for emergency*
If possible, try not to use EPF for emergency. Because EPF is used to ensure still have money to live in old age.
A former security guard, now retired, he understands the importance of pensions. He hoped that the government would develop other programs to assist people facing economic problems.
He said that two years ago, people were asked to withdraw EPF money once for emergency. It is believed that many people's accounts have been reduced, and some people even have less than 1,000 ringgits. This is a big problem.
