Abstract

In this comprehensive analysis of Malaysia’s social security system, we delve into its evolution, operational challenges, and the pressing need for strategic reforms aimed at enhancing coverage, efficiency, and sustainability. The study identifies significant gaps in the system’s current framework, highlighting issues of limited coverage, sustainability concerns, and the adequacy of benefits amidst the nation’s socio-economic and demographic changes. By evaluating the system’s performance and drawing comparisons with global standards and emerging trends, we uncover the urgent necessity for policy reforms that can adapt to the dynamic socio-economic landscape of Malaysia. The article proposes targeted recommendations to address these gaps, emphasizing the enhancement of the system’s resilience, the expansion of inclusivity, and the assurance of long-term sustainability.
