Back to HomeWhat We Offer
Six Reasons to Trust Setia Murni
Pension-Only Focus
We work on nothing but pension and EPF matters. This means our knowledge of EPF withdrawal categories, civil service pension regulations, and claim appeal procedures is current and detailed — not something we look up when a case arrives.
Advisors You Can Actually Talk To
You are assigned a named advisor who manages your matter from start to finish. We do not rotate cases between staff. When you call, you speak to the person who knows your file.
Written Records of Everything
Verbal explanations are backed up in writing. You receive a written summary after your review, copies of all correspondence, and a structured file that you keep. Nothing important is left to memory.
Malaysian Bar Compliance
Our practice and advisors operate in full compliance with the Malaysian Bar. All work is carried out by practitioners with current practising certificates — not para-legal agents or unlicensed consultants.
Fees Agreed in Writing First
Before any work begins, you receive a written engagement letter setting out the fee and what it covers. You decide whether to proceed. There are no surprise charges after the work is done.
No Pressure, No Rush
You decide when to proceed and when to pause. We do not use follow-up calls designed to create urgency. If you need time to consider, we respect that — and we are still here when you are ready.
Expertise
Deep Knowledge of Malaysian Pension Law
Our advisors have spent years working specifically in the EPF and pension space. We understand the EPF Act 1991, the Pension Act 1980 as it applies to public servants, and the administrative processes of KWSP and related authorities — not in outline, but in practical detail.
- EPF withdrawal categories and eligibility criteria
- Civil service and armed forces pension entitlements
- Nominee and beneficiary documentation requirements
- Appeal procedures and grounds for review
Service
A Service Shaped Around Each Client
There is no standard template at Setia Murni. Every client arrives with a different history, a different scheme, and different concerns. We shape our approach around your situation — from how we schedule the first meeting to how we present the outcome in writing.
- Named advisor throughout the entire engagement
- Consultations available in Bahasa Malaysia or English
- Written summaries after every significant step
- Availability by phone during office hours for questions
Value
Transparent Pricing for Every Service
Our service fees are published clearly: RM 590 for a Gentle Pension Review, RM 1,200 for Claim and Appeal Care, and RM 1,890 for the Family Pension Stewardship engagement. These figures represent our standard fee for most cases, agreed in writing before work begins.
- No consultation charges at the enquiry stage
- Engagement letter before work commences
- No disbursement surprises after the fact
- Adjustments discussed in advance if scope changes

What Makes Us Distinct
Features You Will Not Find Everywhere
Bilingual Advisory Service
Consultations and written summaries are available in both Bahasa Malaysia and English, allowing clients to engage in whichever language feels more natural when discussing something as important as retirement.
Consolidated Family Dossier
For the Family Stewardship service, we prepare a single consolidated document covering all pension schemes, appeal outcomes, and survivor arrangements — something families often struggle to piece together on their own.
Direct Authority Correspondence
We write to EPF, the Pension Division, and other relevant bodies directly on your behalf — not drafting template letters for you to send yourself, but acting as your formal representative throughout the process.
Plain-Language Written Summaries
Every client receives a written summary in clear language — not a legal opinion filled with Latin phrases, but a practical document explaining the picture, the options, and what happens next.
