Worker Compensation Scheme

Foreign Workers Compensation Scheme (FWCS) was created to protect the interest and welfare of all foreign workers in Malaysia. This scheme provides for the payment of compensation benefits to a foreign worker, who possesses valid employment documents, for death or injuries sustained due to accident arising out of or in the course of employment.

RHB Insurance Berhad is one of the panel insurance companies appointed and approved by the Ministry of Human Resources to underwrite the FWCS. Under Section 26 of the Workmen's Compensation (Amendment) Act 1996, it is mandatory for employers to insure all the foreign workers employed by them under the FWCS.
