A new insurance scheme will be created for Malaysians working in Singapore to ensure they remain covered even during their daily cross-border commute, says Human Resources Minister R. Ramanan.

The new scheme will ensure that the nearly 400,000 Malaysians who cross the border daily from Johor are not left out of social security protection after working hours.

“What happens when you are travelling from your workplace back to your home? Where is the coverage during this period? That coverage is not provided, so we are coming up with a new scheme for workers going back and forth between Malaysia and Singapore,” Ramanan said in an exclusive interview.

He added that the new insurance scheme was one of his main priorities since being appointed as minister in December.

“Workers should not be victimised simply because they are working in Singapore. As long as you are from Malaysia, I believe that the same standards of safety and care should be given to you,” he said.


It is estimated that more than 1.18 million Malaysians work in Singapore, with between 300,000 and 400,000 commuting across the causeway every day.

Ramanan said his ministry was in the process of reviewing 26 related laws to ensure that they were relevant and in line with International Labour Organization standards.

Among the outcomes of the review so far was the amendment on the Employment Insurance System (SIP) Act, which was passed in parliament at the end of last year.


He explained that a moratorium of up to two years was being implemented despite the passage of the law so that stakeholder engagement sessions could be held to gather input from industry players.


“[Industry players] will discuss and come up with a formula that best serves the nation. When you are implementing something new, you have a segment of the community that is happy and unhappy, so we must find a balance,” he added.

SINGAPORE – About nine in 10 retrenched eligible workers received retrenchment benefits from 2020 to 2025.

Among them, around eight in 10 received at least two weeks’ salary per year of service, which is in line with the norms stated in the Tripartite Advisory on Managing Excess Manpower and Responsible Retrenchment, said Senior Minister of State for Manpower Koh Poh Koon in Parliament on Feb 4.

The latest numbers are based on the mandatory requirement that employers with at least 10 employees must notify the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) within five working days after retrenching workers.
