Former EPF CEO Tunku Alizakri: Facing Up To An Uncertain Retirement and Financial Future
 
Tunku Alizakri Raja Muhammad Alias is a highly experienced and respected corporate figure and a former CEO of Malaysia’s Employees Provident Fund, among the world’s oldest provident funds and the 7th-largest in the world, with over a trillion Ringgit in assets under management. 
 
In today’s chat, we focus on one of Malaysia’s most pressing concerns: the lack of sufficient savings for many Malaysians, and the uncertain futures we all face, as we stay older for longer and the rising cost of housing, food and other basic necessities.
