The government and Grab will jointly fund a RM160 million package from 2027. Median net income could rise by up to RM227 a month for e-hailing drivers and up to RM100 for p-hailing riders. The government also matches 35% of gig workers' SOCSO contributions, rising to 50% if the platform pays too.

The Prime Minister finished tabling Budget 2027 in the Dewan Rakyat at 5:30pm. We are still adding confirmed details below, including the STR 2027 cash rates per household once LHDN or MOF publishes them.
All STR recipients get SARA of up to RM150 a month (RM1,800 a year), up from RM100, for up to nine million recipients. SARA can also be spent at 216 FAMA farmers' markets. The STR cash amounts per household band have not been published yet; we'll add them here as soon as LHDN or MOF releases them.
Malaysians aged 18 and above who are not STR recipients get RM100 of SARA MADANI on two occasions: before Aidilfitri and for the 70th National Day. Up to 13 million people, including the M40 group.
The minimum wage goes from RM1,700 to RM2,000 a month from June 2027, benefiting over four million workers. Micro, small and medium businesses with sales under RM50 million are excluded. A new RM2,500 starting minimum is introduced for semi-skilled workers and graduates.
Resident individual tax rates are cut by one percentage point. The RM70,001–RM100,000 band drops to 18% and the RM100,001–RM150,000 band to 24%. The individual relief, unchanged since 2010, rises from RM9,000 to RM12,000. Our take-home calculator still uses the current rates until LHDN publishes the new schedule.
Every Malaysian citizen will be registered as an EPF member automatically on turning 18. E-hailing and p-hailing riders get an EPF matching incentive of up to RM600 a year (RM6,000 lifetime).
