In a heartbreaking story, a 50-year-old man who has been bedridden for 6 years due to a damaged spinal disc took to Facebook to plea for access to medical funds from the Employee Provident Fund .
As he still had savings in his EPF account, he wanted to apply for access to the funds because he lost his ability to work due to his debilitating medical condition.“I have meticulously prepared all the required documents, and I am undoubtedly a genuine patient who has lost the ability to work precisely the type of person who should qualify for approval.
“A month later, I decided to call the EPF hotline to check on the status of my application. The operator informed me that my application was still under review. I suspect that my documents and hospital reports might have been inadvertently shelved with the lady I had spoken to earlier.” He said that he had already sold all the items he could, and eventually, he even sold the gold chain and pendant left to him by his mother, which he was reluctant to part with.
