  "summary": "The Malaysian Social Security Organisation (Perkeso) has announced that Lindung 24 Jam and Lindung Kendiri scheme contributors will receive up to RM150 in tax relief under Budget 2027. This benefit aims to protect more than 8.5 million Lindung 24 Jam contributors and 1.7 million Lindung Kendiri contributors, who have experienced an average of 85 claims per day in the scheme's first four months. Additionally, e-hailing and p-hailing workers will receive a 35% matching contribution from Perkeso, increasing to 50% if platform companies contribute towards their social security payments. Self-employed individuals in 17 non-mandatory sectors will also receive a 70% matching contribution incentive to ease their contribution burden and broaden access to social security protection.",
