KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 11 — Contributors who remain under the Lindung 24 Jam Scheme, as well as those making mandatory contributions to the Lindung Kendiri Scheme, will be eligible for additional tax relief of up to RM150 under Budget 2027.
The Social Security Organisation (Perkeso), in a statement today, said the initiative is expected to benefit more than 8.5 million Lindung 24 Jam contributors and 1.7 million Lindung Kendiri contributors.
“The Lindung 24 Jam Scheme recorded 10,424 claims in its first four months of implementation, averaging 85 claims a day and highlighting the need for protection against risks that extend beyond working hours.
“It is hoped that the incentive will encourage more people to obtain coverage under Lindung 24 Jam, including those who had previously opted out but may now rejoin, while also increasing participation in Lindung Kendiri,” it said.
