Malaysian Contributors Can Opt Out of ‘Lindung 24 Jam’ Accident Scheme from Monday

Employees in Malaysia will have the option to opt out of the "Lindung 24 Jam" (Protect 24 Hours) accident insurance scheme starting Monday. This new mechanism allows contributors who do not wish to continue their participation to formally withdraw from the coverage.

To successfully opt out, contributors are required to complete a specific liability release form. This form will be made available through an online portal, streamlining the process for individuals seeking to disengage from the scheme. The Social Security Organization (Perkeso) is facilitating this opt-out procedure.

Datuk Seri Dr. Mohammed Azman Aziz Mohammed, the Group Chief Executive Officer of Perkeso, emphasized the importance of completing this declaration. He stated that the confirmation is crucial to prevent any future disputes or misunderstandings regarding contributions and coverage.

The "Lindung 24 Jam" scheme is designed to provide coverage for non-work-related accidents. The introduction of the opt-out option provides greater flexibility for contributors, allowing them to manage their insurance coverage according to their individual needs and preferences.
