the employee has died; or

the employee has attained the age of fifty-five years; or

on medical evidence, the employee is no longer capable of being, and is not likely to be again, an employee; or

the employee is about to leave Malaya with no intention of returning thereto; or

a person has ceased to be an employee for a period of at least two years and it is not likely that he will again be an employee:

Provided that where the number of monthly contributions paid under this Ordinance in respect of an employee is less than sixty, the authority of the

Board for the withdrawal of money in the circumstances mentioned in paragraphs (d) and (e) of this sub-section shall be limited to a sum not exceeding the amount of the contributions of such employee and the interest thereon:

Provided further that, in the case of an employee who immediately before being about to leave Malaya or before ceasing to be an employee, as the case may be, had been employed by the same employer for a period of at least five years, the Board may, during the five years immediately following the coming into force of this section, at its discretion authorise the withdrawal of the amount of contributions of such employer and the interest thereon in addition to the amount of contributions of such employee and the interest thereon.

When a person withdraws any amount standing to his credit in the Fund, he shall not thereafter be treated as an employee, notwithstanding that, but for the provisions of this sub-section, he would be an employee, for the purposes of this Ordinance.
