Government examining proposal on EPF Account 1 withdrawal, Arizona picks Biden in historic shift

Among the headlines for Wednesday, 4th November 2020, the government is prepared to look into calls to allow Employees Provident Fund (EPF) contributors, who are affected by the economic impact of Covid-19, to withdraw from their Account 1. 

 

However, PM Muhyiddin said the government hopes that the people would not use their Account 1 savings since it is a facility meant to ensure sustainability during the contributors' retirement days.  

 

Also, Arizona, a state that President Donald Trump carried by nearly 100,000 votes four years ago, backed Democrat Joe Biden for president early Wednesday. Taking Arizona widens Biden’s path to the 270 Electoral College votes he needs to capture the presidency.
