WFH allowances — what's the benchmark in Malaysia?

by Joanne Lau·October 19, 2025

Top MNCs: RM200–400/month internet/equipment allowance. Mid-tier: lump sum RM500–2,000 equipment budget. Most local companies: nothing formal. WFH allowances are still not standard enough.

RM400/month internet allowance is the norm at good MNCs now. Anything below RM200 at a company claiming to be WFH-friendly is hollow.

Put WFH allowance in writing during offer stage. Verbal commitments on this never survive budget cuts.
