Step-by-step portal guide for Malaysian employees
As of 8 July 2026, contributing to SOCSO Lindung 24 Jam (Skim Kemalangan Bukan Bencana Kerja, SKBBK) is voluntary for Malaysian employees. This guide shows you exactly how to:
- Opt out of the scheme if you do not wish to contribute; and
- Choose which employer deducts your contribution if you have more than one employer.
NOTE: Everything is done through the PERKESO LINDUNG portal at lindungfaedah.perkeso.gov.my. The portal is in Bahasa Malaysia; the English meaning of each button is given in brackets throughout.
How to Opt Out of Lindung 24 Jam (and Get Your Notice of Release of Liability)
For Malaysian employees only. Foreign employees cannot opt out as the scheme remains mandatory for them. Once you have opted out, give a signed copy of the notice to your employer so payroll can stop the deduction.
Section 1 – Register or log in to the LINDUNG portal
Step 1: Go to the portal
Visit https://lindungfaedah.perkeso.gov.my/auth/. If you already have an account, click ‘Log Masuk’ (Log In). If not, register first (Step 2).
Step 2: Register a new account
Click ‘Daftar Akaun’ (Register Account) and fill in your Full Name (as in your IC), IC Number, and Email, then set a Password (at least 8 characters and 1 symbol such as @#$%^&*). Tick the terms checkbox and click ‘Daftar Akaun’.
Step 3: Registration successful
The screen displays ‘Pendaftaran Berjaya!’ (Registration Successful). Click ‘Seterusnya’ (Next).
Section 2 – Submit your opt-out declaration
Step 4: Choose NOT to participate
On the Employee Declaration (Notis Pelepasan Liabiliti), read the list of benefits you would give up. Then tick the box ‘SAYA MEMILIH UNTUK TIDAK MENYERTAI Skim Lindung 24 Jam’ (I choose NOT to participate in the Lindung 24 Jam Scheme).
Step 5: Confirm and submit
Confirm your employer, tick the confirmation box (‘I confirm that I have read and understood the information… my decision is made voluntarily and without any pressure or coercion’), then click ‘Hantar’ (Submit).
Step 6: Confirm on the pop-up
A pop-up ‘Adakah anda pasti?’ (Are you sure?) lists the benefits you will lose. Click ‘Sahkan, Saya Tidak Mahu Menyertai’ (Confirm, I do not want to participate). To go back, click ‘Kembali’ (Back).
Step 7: Declaration submitted
The screen shows ‘Berjaya – Deklarasi berjaya dihantar’ (Success – Declaration submitted). Click ‘OK’.
Step 8: Download your notice
Click ‘Muat Turun’ (Download) to save your Notice of Release of Liability (Notis Pelepasan Liabiliti).
Step 9: Give a signed copy to your employer
For your employer’s records, sign the downloaded notice and write the declaration date shown on the portal, then hand a copy to your employer so payroll can stop your SKBBK deduction. A sample of the notice is shown below.
Alternative Method- Submit the Manual Form
If you prefer not to use the online portal, you can complete the printed ‘Notis Pelepasan Liabiliti Skim Kemalangan Bukan Bencana Kerja (SKBBK) / Lindung 24 Jam’ form, sign it, and submit it through your employer / PERKESO. The manual form carries the same voluntary declaration:
“I confirm that I have read and understood the information provided above and that my decision is made voluntarily and without any pressure or coercion.”
(Attach the official PERKESO manual form to this guide when you publish or distribute it.)
How to Select Your Employer (If You Have More Than One Employer)
If you work for more than one employer, you must nominate ONE employer to deduct and remit your SKBBK contribution. This is done in the LINDUNG portal under ‘Pemilihan Majikan’ (Employer Selection). Registration for this step uses e-KYC – you will upload your IC and take a selfie.
