Despite 2020 being a bad year in terms of the pandemic and economic downturn, on Feb 27, 2021, Malaysian retirement savings fund, the Employees’ Provident Fund (EPF), declared a dividend of 5.2% for conventional savings and 4.9% for syariah savings for 2020, amounting to a total payout of RM47.64bil.
This could be the main reason why EPF had earlier announced its readiness to allow an unconditional withdrawal of funds by those who are most affected by the economic downturn brought about by the Covid-19 pandemic.
The reason the fund has been able to give out a respectable dividend is because its investments overseas and on fixed income instruments in 2020 produced good returns. With some 14 million contributors, the fund achieved a net investment income of RM37.83mil for the first nine months of 2020, with its fixed income portfolio recording an income of more than RM22bil in the same period.

In Memoriam: Mike Weber, ‘Heart and Soul’ of UVA Cancer Center
Michael J. Weber, 78, former director of the University of Virginia Cancer Center, died Feb. 11 at home in Albemarle County. He was well-regarded for helping establish the UVA Cancer Center, and later as its director, for guiding it into the 21
st century.
“Mike was the heart and soul of the cancer center,” Dr. Thomas Loughran Jr., the current director, wrote in email. “Under his direction, the cancer center was recognized as a national leader in cancer discovery.”
Weber, a cancer biologist, came to UVA in 1983 as a School of Medicine researcher working on cancer cell signaling. He was instrumental in the founding of the UVA Cancer Center a year later with the help of a grant from the National Cancer Institute. Since 1987, the center has retained the critical NCI designation.
