KUALA LUMPUR (April 12): The Employees Provident Fund (EPF) has refuted speculations of a cash crunch crisis building up in the retirement funds, as well as the amendment of the EPF Act 1991 to prevent retirees from withdrawing their savings. In a statement, the retirement savings fund said it has always maintained sufficient liquidity to meet all of its obligations. It said the sale and purchase of overseas assets are a normal part of the EPF's investment operations as one of its asset allocation strategies, stressing that the move was not for the payment of premature withdrawals.

Lebanese judicial authorities should refrain from bringing charges against Hajjar, and others, prosecuted merely for peacefully expressing their opinions, and stop using insult and defamation laws to limit criticism of the country's political, religious, or military authorities.
