KUALA LUMPUR: Some three million housewives in the country will soon be eligible for a voluntary insurance protection scheme against injuries suffered while tending to their families and homes.

This comes after the Dewan Rakyat passed the Housewives Social Security Bill (HSS), which allows husbands to voluntarily contribute to the scheme for their wives who are below the age of 55.
