PETALING JAYA: The Employees Provident Fund (EPF) has reminded its 6.33 million contributors to check their account statements for 2009, which have been sent to them, and seek clarification with their employers should they detect anything amiss.

“EPF account statements are important to help members keep track of their retirement savings. We strongly advise our members to thoroughly check their statements to ensure their savings are in order and their employers are submitting their contributions to the EPF on time,” EPF general manager for public relations Nik Affendi Jaafar said in a statement yesterday.

The EPF completed the delivery of the account statements to keep the contributors updated on the status of their savings.

JOHOR BARU: Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) has developed a closed circuit television (CCTV) camera system which can produce clear and accurate images even in the dark.

The system, developed by the university's Photogrammetry and Laser Scanning Research Group headed by Prof Dr Zulkepli Majid of the Faculty of Geoinformation Science and Engineering, has the potential to be an efficient crime monitoring system.

Developed from the idea of Mohd Farid Mohd Ariff, 30, one of the 16 researchers in the group, it is an integration of modern imaging technology and geomatics, said Dr Zulkepli.
