EPF office in KK closed due to case

Kuala Lumpur: The Employees Provident Fund (EPF) is temporarily closing its Kota Kinabalu office to facilitate the disinfection and sanitisation of the premises from Thursday until further notice.

In a statement Thursday, it said the move was made after a staff member tested positive for Covid-19, adding that the employee is currently receiving treatment, while contact tracing is underway.

“Members who have made prior appointments are advised to log on to the Janji Temu Online (JTO) facility to reschedule their visits to a later date, or visit other EPF branches in Sabah which continue to operate as usual, or transact online via i-Akaun for selected services.
