THE Self Employment Social Security Scheme for taxi and rented car drivers by the Social Security Organisation (Socso) has been met with lukewarm response, said its deputy chief executive officer (corporate) Datin Azlaily Abd Rahman.

“Only 2,758 drivers nationwide have registered under this scheme between June 1 and Dec 31 last year and out of that number, only 2,337 were paying their contributions.”
