Hi Everyone,

Im a foreigner and currently working in KL. I resigned in my current company and my last day is 18 May. Moreover, i received the new offer from another company which is in Category III. Hence, i have to leave Malaysia and go back my hometown before joining the new company. May I know that im eligible to withdraw EPF before leaving Malaysia or not. As my concern is that i will come back Malaysia and work for a new company next time. I dont know now they allow me to withdraw EPF or not.
