BUDGET 2026 | Gig, e-hailing and p-hailing workers will receive matching contribution incentives of up to RM600 per year, or RM6,000 for life, under the i-Saraan Plus scheme, said Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim.

Anwar, who is also the finance minister, said that the incentives, under Budget 2026, are being introduced to strengthen social protection and encourage contributions to the Employees Provident Fund (EPF), as many self-employed individuals are unable to make regular contributions for their own financial security.
