Merdeka Vibes: Freedom from Scams ✨

Share this article:

This Merdeka, we’re not just waving the Jalur Gemilang and shouting “Merdekaaa!” at the top of our lungs. Nope. The Employees Provident Fund (EPF) wants us to also scream:

🔥 “Merdeka Daripada Scam!” 🔥

Yup, they’ve just dropped a new campaign with the hashtag #KWSPAntiScam, and trust us: it’s something we all need.

Why You Should Care (Like, Seriously 😬)

Scammers these days? Pro max level sneaky. From fake “bank officers” to random “you won a prize!” calls, or maybe you are the heir to some Nigerian prince. Too many Malaysians have lost their hard-earned savings to these tricks. And losing money meant for your retirement? Nahhhhhh

So EPF is stepping up to say: Enough lah. Don’t let scammers scam your future.

This isn’t just about warning signs. It’s about teaching you to spot the red flags, stay alert, and protect your money like a true finance boss.

Roadshows, Trucks & Fun (Not Gimmicks, Promise) 🚚🎉

From 31 Aug to 16 Sept, EPF is taking the message on tour with their Merdeka Daripada Scam Roadshows. 13 hotspots across Klang Valley, including Putrajaya’s National Day Parade, Avenue K, Lotus Ampang, Mydin USJ, Pasar Seni, PPR Subang 2, AND the Keretapi Sarong Festival.

Here’s what’s going down:

🎭 Too Good? Think Twice! Experience a scam simulation. Spoiler: you’ll feel the sting.
🕵️ Real or Scam? Flex your skills in a rapid-fire scam quiz.

💸 The Truck Challenge Hop into the roving Merdeka Daripada Scam truck and try the 30-second flying money grab challenge. It’s fun, it’s eye-opening, and yep… it shows just how easy it is to lose cash when you don’t double-check.

Squad Goals: Keep Each Other Safe 👯

EPF isn’t doing this solo. They’re teaming up with influencers (like Rahmat Fitri Abdullah, the Royal Malaysia Police’s Anti-Scam Ambassador 💪) to spread the message. Because scams? They don’t just hit individuals, they hit families, friends, communities. Basically, all of us.

This Merdeka: Claim REAL Freedom

As we celebrate independence and unity, let’s also claim freedom from scammers. Stay woke, keep your guard up, and don’t let anyone touch your retirement bag.

Because nothing says Merdeka louder than being scam-free.
