KUALA LUMPUR: There are plans to allow the self-employed to continue contributing to the Social Security Organization (Socso) after they turn 60, says Datuk Seri Abdul Rahman Mohamad.

"There are four Enactments that govern social security with regard to employees. Three only apply to those aged 60 and below with only the Self-Employment Social Security Act 2017 (Act 789) covering work accidents after the age of 60," he said.
