KUALA LUMPUR, July 19 — Human Resources Minister Datuk Seri M. Saravanan today tabled the long-awaited Housewives’ Social Security Bill that would provide Social Security Organisation coverage to almost three million housewives aged below 55 in the country.

Other benefits include RM250 per month of constant attendance allowance, a survivors’ pension, a RM2,000 one-off funeral benefit, RM200 per month for dialysis treatments, and coverage for physical rehabilitation. Although registration is voluntary, a husband who subsequently fails to pay the contribution for the housewife will have violated the law and be liable to a fine not exceeding RM10,000 or imprisonment of up two years or both.
