Family allowances in Malaysia
Malaysia pays several targeted programmes: STR (Sumbangan Tunai Rahmah) up to RM 3,700/year per poor family (2023 reform), STAR Permata for families with children, and very favourable family taxation. Maternity leave extended to 98 days in 2023 and paternity to 7 days.
