Cabinet Reverts PERKESO's LINDUNG 24 Jam Contribution to Voluntary Status

The Malaysian Cabinet has decided to make the 0.75 per cent salary contribution for the Social Security Organisation’s (PERKESO) Non-Employment Injury Scheme, known as LINDUNG 24 Jam, voluntary instead of mandatory. This change takes effect immediately, with the Ministry of Human Resources (KESUMA) slated to release further details.
Feedback on Contribution Implementation Raised

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim brought to the Cabinet's attention feedback that had been received concerning the implementation of the LINDUNG 24 Jam contribution. This feedback was a key factor that led to the subsequent decision to alter the scheme's contribution structure.
Scheme Covers Non-Work-Related Accidents

The LINDUNG 24 Jam scheme is designed to provide coverage for accidents that are not related to employment. Prior to this decision, employees were required to contribute 0.75 per cent of their salary towards this protection.
Immediate Effect of the Policy Shift

The Cabinet's decision to transition the LINDUNG 24 Jam contribution from mandatory to voluntary status is effective immediately. This means that employees are no longer obligated to make this specific contribution to PERKESO.
