By 2056, Malaysia is expected to become a \u201csuper-aged society\u201d, with over 20% of its population in that category.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">While this brings challenges in areas such as employment, income security and aged care, the shift also presents economic opportunities, particularly in the field of aged care services.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Meanwhile, the United Nations\u2019 (UN) World Social Report highlights disparities in saving for old age, with 46% of adults in high-income countries saving compared to only 16% in middle- and low-income countries.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Old-age pensions come in three primary types, namely tax-financed pensions, mandatory contributory pensions, and voluntary or private contributory pensions.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\"><b>Immense Pressure on Pension System<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">The Employees Provident Fund (EPF) told\u00a0<i>The Malaysian Reserve (TMR)\u00a0<\/i>that the phenomenon has placed immense pressure on the sustainability of the pension system due to low pension coverage, financial vulnerability among the elderly, income disparities and the potential for increased burdens on the government.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">EPF highlighted that over 40% of Malaysia\u2019s workforce lacks coverage under formal pensions and retirement programmes, leaving them vulnerable to old-age poverty; and the coverage rate is only 60%, 8% lower than the global average.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">The uncovered group mainly composed of informal workers, including contract for service workers (CFS) and self-employed individuals. As the workforce becomes more informal, the coverage gap is expected to grow, putting more workers at risk of old-age poverty.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Retirement savings among EPF members are also at a worrisome level, influenced by low wages, late implementation of the minimum wage, inconsistent contributions and early access to savings, such as Covid-19-related withdrawals.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">As of September 2023, 81% of EPF members below age 55 do not meet the basic savings requirements by age. Moreover, Malaysia lacks structured decumulation programmes, potentially leading to inadequate financial support for retirees.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cAddressing these challenges requires comprehensive policy reforms, efforts to expand pension coverage, initiatives to enhance financial literacy and measures to encourage regular savings.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cEnsuring the long-term viability of Malaysia\u2019s pension system is crucial to provide financial security for its ageing population and prevent an increase in old-age poverty,\u201d EPF said.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">EPF has undertaken and is planning numerous measures to enhance the pension system in the country including extending coverage to a broader range of the working-age population, restructuring the current accounts into three categories and mulling a conceptual framework of \u201cRetirement Income\u201d to provide retirees with a structured and sustained income post-retirement.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Additionally, the government is actively implementing various strategies including matching contribution programmes like i-Saraan and i-Suri, tax incentives for contributions to the EPF and Private Retirement Scheme (PRS), and public education campaigns.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\"><b>Generations, National Revenue and Pension<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Alpine Advisory director Rozanna Rashid said Malaysia\u2019s civil service pension scheme is a defined benefit (DB), a non-contributory system directly funded from the budget.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">She also noted that an ageing population is funded by government revenue and subsequently needs to come from the younger population, who need to \u201cwork harder\u201d. Furthermore, the current working class is a \u201csandwich\u201d population, having young and elderly dependents in the household.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Rozanna added that the Malaysian pension system is funded by general taxation.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cThe government has been running a budget deficit since 1998. Funding pensions means giving up government revenue in developing other areas such as healthcare, education, national security and infrastructure,\u201d she told\u00a0<i>TMR<\/i>.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_352696\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\">\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-352696\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Rozanna suggested several<br \/>\nmeasures including transitioning govt and civil servants to the EPF and PRS schemes<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\"><b>A Call for Holistic Solutions<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Rozanna suggested several measures including transitioning government and civil servants to contribute to the EPF and Private Retirement Scheme (PRS) schemes, thus relieving the burden on traditional pension systems. Additionally, she said a moratorium has been implemented, freezing any new pension payments, meaning no future revision rates.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">She said efforts to boost labour productivity are also underway, including extending the retirement age to retain experienced workers and increasing the employee contribution rate. To incentivise contributions to the retirement fund, a higher tax relief is being offered to contributors.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Rozanna added that the concerns regarding the adequacy of pension benefits for retirees in Malaysia has led to a series of steps, including freezing pension payment revision rates, increasing the retirement age and reducing the actual pension payments.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cThis approach seeks to strike a balance between addressing the concerns of retirees and ensuring the long-term viability of the pension system,\u201d she said.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">To ensure the financial sustainability of pension funds, several strategies have been put in place including the removal of subsidies. Additionally, there is a need to expand social protection, necessitating capital investment in social infrastructure and services, including elderly housing, healthcare and career support with lifelong reskilling opportunities.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_352695\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\">\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-352695\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Elya Nabila says pension reform needs comprehensive research into policy development, execution and impact on stakeholders<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\"><b>Insufficient Pension Fund<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Universiti Malaya\u2019s Faculty of Business and Economics senior lecturer Dr Elya Nabila Abdul Bahri said from an individual standpoint, a pension system serves the vital purpose of providing financial security to an ageing population.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cIt is designed not only to ensure a smooth consumption pattern during retirement, but also to safeguard against the risks of longevity and inflation.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cThe significance of the pension system has grown as it guarantees that future retirees can maintain their living standards after concluding their working years,\u201d she told\u00a0<i>TMR<\/i>.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">She added that three essential factors come into focus, namely adequacy, coverage and sustainability of the pension system.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Elya Nabila said a primary concern stems from the fear that the accumulated retirement savings might not suffice to secure individuals over their extended life expectancy. This leads to worries among retirees that unexpected health-related expenses could deplete their retirement funds rapidly, leaving them financially vulnerable.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Furthermore, external factors like global inflation and economic crises raise concerns about the pension system\u2019s reliability and the ability to withstand such unpredicted events.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Elya Nabila opined that the government\u2019s pension system reform initiatives demand comprehensive research into policy development, execution and potential impact on individuals, the government and the nation.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Notably, the government\u2019s public pension liability presently stands at RM31 billion, equivalent to around 10% of its operational expenditure. Projections indicate that the figure is expected to rise to RM46 billion by 2030.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cA striking 97% of contributors fall short of the ideal retirement savings target of RM600,000.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cFor a more comfortable post-retirement life, individuals would require at least RM900,000 to RM1 million in savings, underlining the need for an extended working life to bolster these retirement funds,\u201d she said.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Elya Nabila added that address- ing the challenges involves reconsidering the upper limit for tax relief on retirement savings contributions, which is currently capped at RM6,000.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_352697\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\">\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-352697\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Wong says insurance should not be seen as a traditional \u2018investment\u2019, but rather as a fundamental risk management tool<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\"><b>Impact on Insurance Industry<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Uno Advisers founder and CEO Ian Wong said when Malaysia\u2019s population ages, there is typically a surge in healthcare demand. In response, insurance companies find themselves paying out more claims, which impacts their profit margins.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Consequently, insurance companies are compelled to raise their premiums to maintain financial viability. Concurrently, Wong clarified that insurance should not be seen as a traditional \u201cinvestment\u201d, but rather as a fundamental risk management tool.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Among the government policies and incentives worth noting to promote older individuals in purchasing insurance are the annual tax relief of RM3,000 for medical insurance premiums, albeit this limit is shared with education-related policies. Additionally, insurance providers have been encouraged to offer more affordable basic policies.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Wong said the insurance industry employs several strategies to tackle the prospective healthcare and long-term care expenses associated with an ageing population. Partnerships with prominent hospitals enable insurance companies to negotiate more favourable pricing terms.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Insurance companies are also introducing co-payment clauses like \u201cdeductibles\u201d or \u201cco-insurance\u201d. This is a practical alternative, ensuring that individuals can access necessary care even if it comes with a financial contribution.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Wong also noted that Malaysia\u2019s medical and healthcare insurance stands out favourably compared to other countries with an ageing population.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cPresent policies offer substantial claim limits in the multimillions without co-payments or deductibles. However, maintaining such extensive benefits over the long term may be unsustainable as healthcare costs continue to rise,\u201d he told\u00a0<i>TMR<\/i>.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">All in all, Malaysians may have to work longer in the future to ensure adequate financial security in their golden years. The government may need to introduce policies that provide opportunities for training and lifelong learning to foster the working population\u2019s continued employability and contributions to EPF, as well as measures to sustain retirement savings for longer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><strong>EPF\u2019s Strategies to Enhance the Pension System<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>i) Extension of EPF Coverage to the Working-Age Population.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">EPF is working to extend its mandatory coverage to include a broader range of the workforce, including CFS workers, business owners, and self-employed individuals.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">This move aims to make the retirement system inclusive and accessible for all Malaysians, recognising the evolving nature of work patterns, including gig economy jobs.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>ii) Account Restructuring.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">EPF is restructuring the current accounts into three categories \u2014 namely Retirement Account (for retirement), Value-Add Account (for pre-retirement) and Flexible Account (for various purposes).<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">There is a focus on increasing the allocation into the Retirement Account to boost savings, while providing members with control and empowerment over the Flexible Account. The restructuring aims to offer a more holistic approach to financial planning, allowing members to have a clearer vision of their financial goals and make informed decisions on fund allocation.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>iii) Retirement Income.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">EPF is considering a conceptual framework of \u201cRetirement Income\u201d to provide retirees with a structured and sustained income post-retirement, as an alternative to lump-sum withdrawals.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Pension Reform Initiatives<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>AMONG\u00a0<\/b>the reforms proposed by experts and stakeholders include:<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>i) National Pension Reform in Accordance with the ILO Multi-Pillar Pension Framework.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Malaysia aims to establish a contributory-based national pension scheme with a redistributive mechanism.
