MORE than 5,000 delivery riders engaged with a fast food chain will be covered under the Self-Employment Social Security Scheme (SESSS) for one year.

This follows a memorandum of understanding (MOU) between McDonald’s Malaysia and the Social Security Organisation (Socso) for the restaurant chain to sponsor all its delivery riders for a sum of RM250,000 (RM46.60 per individual).
