Socso Invalidity Scheme to protect foreign workers outside of work hours


PUTRAJAYA: Foreign workers in Malaysia will be offered the Invalidity Scheme (Skim Keilatan) under the Social Security Organisation (Socso) which provides protection outside of work, says Human Resources Minister Steven Sim.

He said the decision to expand the scheme for migrant workers would allow Socso to save about RM25.38mil annually in expenses to repatriate bodies to their home countries.
