Very interesting post. By international standard, 4.5% return for 2008 sound pretty good. Even considering low risk investments. So KWSP apparently held itself pretty well...

Look at the bright side at least the 4.5% dividend declared by EPF is better then Fixed Deposit Rate.

Provided that the risk taken commensurate with the returns. Using the OPR as the index is not exactly a sound benchmark. Maybe a mixture of KLCI and KLIBOR with considerations on age bands and account types would make a better benchmark.
Anyway, the returns all these years don't really tell you much about KWSP's actual investment activities. I would prefer a tad more transparency anytime.
