Many part-time media practitioners lack Socso protection

KUALA LUMPUR: Many part-time media practitioners as well as those working on their own do not have social security protection, said Social Security Organisation (Socso) self-employment injury scheme division head Mohamad Haron Othman.

He said this, among other things, is due to a lack of awareness about the importance of getting social security protection on top of the affordability factor.
