Stakeholders laud better social security protection

Malaysian Maid Employers Association president Engku Ahmad Fauzi Engku Muhsein said all domestic workers – local or foreign – are set to benefit from this.

With contribution at only 1.25% of their monthly wages, he said Socso would now take care of all that instead of the employers. "Socso’s effort in widening its scope of coverage and benefits to include more workers from time to time is laudable,” he said. "Will they be fined or punished if they fail to comply with the statutory requirement or make contributions late?" he said.

Association of Women Lawyers vice-president Meera Samanther concurred, saying it was"important we change the terms because we need employers to treat them as workers”. "There is no definition of what injury is and domestic violence is physical injuries under the Penal Code,” she said.
