The Malaysian government has expressed openness to considering the establishment of a Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) into the Retirement Fund (Incorporated) (KWAP) and the Employees Provident Fund (EPF), contingent upon the availability of concrete evidence or findings necessitating a comprehensive public inquiry. This stance was articulated by Datuk Seri Azalina Othman Said, Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Law and Institutional Reform), during a written response to the Dewan Rakyat.
Azalina emphasized that the government remains committed to conducting any necessary investigations based on facts and evidence, through appropriate oversight mechanisms. The criteria for initiating an RCI, according to Azalina, include public interest, the gravity of the issue, and the availability of facts and evidence, with proposals submitted via a Cabinet Memorandum for Cabinet approval and subsequent consent from the Yang di-Pertuan Agong.
