PETALING JAYA: The Malaysian Trades Union Congress (MTUC) has raised concerns over the fact that the Social Security Organisation (Socso) would be bearing the cost of Covid-19 screenings for workers.

Its president Datuk Abdul Halim Mansor said it disagrees with the government’s decision that Socso will pick up the tab for the screening costs of employees of companies allowed to work during the movement control order (MCO).
