KUALA LUMPUR: Singer and entrepreneur Mila Jirin says her company is close to fully settling outstanding Employees Provident Fund contributions for its staff, following payment arrangements made with the fund.
KUALA LUMPUR: Mila Jirin, the singer and entrepreneur, has addressed allegations that her company failed to make Employees Provident Fund (EPF) contributions for 10 months. The 39-year-old, whose real name is Norsyarmilla Jirin, revealed that the arrears were due to the financial impact of Covid-19 movement restrictions on the events industry.
She emphasized her commitment to fulfilling her legal obligations as an employer. While the issue is still ongoing, Mila stated that most of the arrears have been settled and that the remaining balance is being cleared in stages with EPF officials. She dismissed claims that authorities had overlooked the situation. Mila did not disclose the exact amount owed, citing corporate confidentiality, but offered insight into her company's monthly payroll.
She mentioned that the staff payroll alone amounts to RM700,000, providing a context for the scale of EPF contributions. Despite the scrutiny, Mila accepts the public's role in holding businesses accountable and does not harbor any resentment towards those who raised the issue online.
