The article discusses how Malaysia's Employees Provident Fund (EPF) became successful by focusing on good governance, smart investments, and efficient operations. The EPF's strong governance structure, diverse investments, and professional employees have helped it grow into one of the largest pension funds globally. However, challenges remain, such as an aging population and low pension coverage. To address these challenges, reforms are needed to ensure financial security for retirees and expand coverage to more workers. The EPF's experiences can provide valuable lessons for other countries looking to create effective pension funds for their citizens.
