%X <span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\"><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">Employees Provident Fund (EPF) has always been a hot
topic, from the pre</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">vious Government

to a financial crisis) and allowing emergency loans through an EPF collateral
agreement.

Monte Carlo simulation, a method used by analysts when determining the size of
a client</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">¡¯</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">s
portfolio to support their desired retirement lifestyle, to establish a
reference-type table displaying ideal savings when reaching 50. The Government
could use the table mentioned above to give more meaningful contributions to
EPF members, apart from EPF active and inactive members, knowing where they
stand concerning their current EPF savings.</span>
