PETALING JAYA: The Malaysian Employers Federation (MEF) has called on the Government to withdraw the Employees Social Security (Socso) Act 1969 amendment Bill, saying it could harm industrial harmony and the well-being of the workers and employers.
MEF executive director Shamsuddin Bardan said the proposed amendment to exclude injuries sustained by workers during sports, social and religious functions organised by employers or trade unions from being categorised as employment injury would discourage interaction.
