Some have claimed that 7% was the highest dividend rate ever paid out by the fund. Verdict:FALSENo, 7% was not the highest EPF dividend payout in Malaysia's history. In more recent history, the highest dividend rate in the past decade was 6.9% in 2017. This marked the highest dividend rate since 2017 and exceeded many analysts' expectations. Whilst 7% would have been a respectable dividend rate and higher than most recent years, it's not the highest EPF has achieved.
