Lindung 24/7 stays mandatory for foreign workers 09-Jul-2026, 10:04 09 Jul 2026, 10:04 Human resources minister R Ramanan says the scheme will continue to be applied for foreign workers in accordance with existing legal provisions. "The implementation mechanism and the process for voluntary participation by local workers will be announced by PERKESO soon," he said in a statement today. Introduced last month, Lindung 24/7 is fully worker-funded, unlike traditional Perkeso models which are funded mainly by employers.
Furthermore, Lindung 24/7 offers standardised protection to all contributors regardless of age as long as they remain employed, instead of benefits varying according to individual policy terms and coverage levels. Although participation in the scheme is now voluntary for local workers, Ramanan said the scheme remains an important initiative that provides social security protection to workers who are involved in accidents outside working hours and away from the workplace, including while carrying out their daily activities.
