Human Resources Minister Steven Sim aims to raise the age limit of the Housewives’ Social Security Scheme (SKSSR) from 55 to 60, thus allowing an additional 720,000 housewives nationwide to be protected under the scheme.
AT THE end of December last year, I visited the parents of a victim of a fatal workplace accident. The deceased was only 28 years old. He was the pillar of support for his elderly parents.
On behalf of the Social Security Organisation (PERKESO), I handed over a contribution to the deceased’s family: RM2,000 as a one-off Funeral Benefit and RM702 monthly as Dependant’s Benefit payment. Both parents of the victim will receive this monthly benefit until the end of their lives.
