Effective from 1 July 2024, foreign workers, including expatriates and domestic foreign workers, are now covered under the Invalidity Scheme (Skim Keilatan).
This scheme provides 24-hour protection to foreign workers against any permanent disability that results in the inability to earn a living, specifically when the worker’s ability to earn income is reduced by at least one-third compared to the normal workers.
*Subject to eligibility requirement set under the Employee Social Security Act 1969 (Act 4).
