Human Resources Minister Datuk Seri M. Saravanan said the existing act, the Self-Employment Social Security Act 2017 , must to be amended to enable the safety and interests of workers in the sectors concerned to be guaranteed. ‘‘If he contributes to Socso, the wife will get RM3,600 per month as well as additional educational assistance for children under 21. Meanwhile, the husband who is cared for by the wife due to an accident also gets a monthly contribution.
Saravanan said the existing act had constraints and needed to be scrutinised and reviewed in order to enable workers such as bus drivers or those with their own businesses to obtain safety net assistance. On the ceremony, he said an employee of the solid waste management company Alam Flora Sdn Bhd, T. V. Vijaya Kumarane, 51, who was involved in a road accident on April 12, was found to be contributing under the Employees Social Security Act 1969 .
