Bill to raise retirement age in private sector

The Bill to raise the retirement age of employees in the private sector is in the final stages of drafting, according to The Malaysian Insider.

At the moment, there is no mandatory retirement age set for the private sector, unlike the public sector. Under the proposed law, the retirement age for private sector employees will be raised from 55 to 60 years and they may be given a four-year extension if their services are further required.
