PETALING JAYA: The case of the late Muhamad Hafiz Muhamad Salleh, who perished in the plane crash, illustrated the importance of contributing to the Social Security Organisation (Socso) as a gig worker.

As a contributor to the Self-Employment Social Security Scheme (SKSPS), his family will be entitled to compensation under the Employees’ Social Security Act 1969 (Act 4), said Human Resources Minister V. Sivakumar.
