What happened?
A scheme member who claimed permanent departure to withdraw MPF early — falsely declaring she’d never done so — was convicted at Kwun Tong Magistrates’ Court of making false statements and fined HK$4,000. An MPFA investigation exposed the lie.
Reminder
The permanent-departure ground can be used only once in a lifetime; false declarations are criminal. Don’t risk it.
