Ambang bankrap naik kepada RM150,000 mulai 2027

The Malaysian government plans to increase the bankruptcy threshold from RM100,000 to RM150,000 starting in 2027, declared Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim. During his presentation of the 2027 budget, Anwar stated that the government will also broaden the Second Chance Opportunity Basis to expedite the release of individual bankrupt individuals.

To expedite the discharge process, the Second Chance Opportunity Basis will be expanded to include primary caregivers of disabled individuals, chronic patients, the elderly, gig workers, and those with irregular income. This means that the automatic release of bankruptcy within three years under Section 33C of the Insolvency Act will continue to be strengthened to speed up the discharge of eligible individuals. Since 2023, the government has helped over 250,000 Malaysians escape from bankruptcy.
