KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian Trades Union Congress (MTUC) urges the government to introduce the non-occupational accident scheme immediately as a proactive measure to protect the rights of workers, especially those involved in road accidents outside of their working hours.
Its president Mohd Effendy Abdul Ghani said that holistic protection outside of working hours needs to be introduced in line with the government's commitment to empowering the welfare of the people, involving various groups.
