Consider This: EPF for Migrant Workers (Part 1) — Ensuring A Fair Share For All
To mark International Migrants Day on the 18th of December, today we reflect on the millions of workers who have left their homes and families to cross borders in search of better opportunities. In Budget 2025 the Malaysian government unveiled a bold proposal to extend mandatory EPF contributions to non-citizen workers. The move is seen as a step forward in improving worker welfare and aligning Malaysia closer to international labour standards. But for business owners, the measure raises red flags about increased costs and potential economic impacts. On this episode of #ConsiderThis Melisa Idris speaks with Gopal Kishnam Nadesan, Secretary General of the Labour Solidarity and Learning Resources Association, which is a broad coalition of 58 Malaysian trade unions and worker organisations from various sectors.
