The Ministry of Home Affairs (MOHA) has announced a <b data-path-to-node=\"4\" data-index-in-node=\"177\">New Expatriate Employment Policy<\/b> that will take full effect on <b data-path-to-node=\"4\" data-index-in-node=\"240\">1 June 2026<\/b>.<\/h4><h4 data-path-to-node=\"5\"><b><u>The most talked-about change?\u00a0<\/u><\/b><\/h4><h4 data-path-to-node=\"5\">The minimum salary threshold for certain Employment Pass (EP) categories is expected to rise to <b data-path-to-node=\"5\" data-index-in-node=\"126\">RM20,000<\/b>.<\/h4><h4 data-path-to-node=\"6\">Why is the Government doing this?<\/h4><h4 data-path-to-node=\"7\">This shift is part of the <b data-path-to-node=\"7\" data-index-in-node=\"26\">Thirteenth Malaysia Plan (RMK-13)<\/b> and the <b data-path-to-node=\"7\" data-index-in-node=\"68\">Malaysia MADANI<\/b> vision.

The &#8220;Replacement Plan&#8221; is Mandatory<\/b> This is a big one. Companies can no longer just hire an expat indefinitely. You must now have a <b data-path-to-node=\"10\" data-index-in-node=\"135\">structured plan<\/b> to show how a local Malaysian employee will eventually be trained to take over that role. This includes:<\/h4><ul data-path-to-node=\"11\"><li><h4 data-path-to-node=\"11,0,0\">Identifying specific local &#8220;successors.&#8221;<\/h4><\/li><li><h4 data-path-to-node=\"11,1,0\">Structured mentoring and knowledge transfer.<\/h4><\/li><li><h4 data-path-to-node=\"11,2,0\">A clear timeframe for the transition.<\/h4><\/li><\/ul><h4 data-path-to-node=\"12\"><b data-path-to-node=\"12\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">3.
