For non-Malaysian Work Permit holders covered by MOM’s foreign-worker rules, the required bond is S$5,000 per worker. Refer to the current MOM instructions for arrangement and discharge.
A bond is separate from medical insurance and work injury compensation insurance. Buying one does not mean the other requirements have been met.
Keep a checklist for the worker’s arrival, permit and bond dates. Follow MOM’s verification steps rather than relying only on a payment receipt.
