Wage reservation is the minimum wage for personal financing. The monthly cost of personal financing for the targeted group such as the Orang Kurang Upaya (OKU), generally more expensive. For example, medical cost and essential equipment like hearing tools for the hearing-impaired patient and fee for expertise visitation must be considered in their personal financing. With 674,548 total number of registered OKU in Malaysia for 2024 (Yamin, 2024), government agencies such as Jabatan Kebajikan Masyarakat (JKM) provide minimum allowance to the OKU. However, there is still a lack of data on the specific amount of minimum cost needed by the special need group. Furthermore, in Malaysia, several government agencies provide financial aid to the qualified OKU. Filling in personal details in the application forms are among the steps required. This may be a repetitive process if they need to apply for a new application.
