“MTUC is supportive of the i-Sinar initiative as it is open to the targeted groups, giving those who are really financially affected a much needed lifeline. This allows the eight million eligible members freedom to manage their withdrawal plan. The eligibility criteria were good covering those who suffered cuts in salary and allowances and those who lost their jobs, as both categories are equally in need. Members who choose to make withdrawals should act responsibly and utilise the money wisely.”
