Workers should bear cost of expanding Socso protection, says MEF

PETALING JAYA: Employees should bear the additional cost for the extended 24-hour comprehensive social security coverage proposed for all private sector workers, says the Malaysian Employers Federation (MEF).

Its president Datuk Dr Syed Hussain Syed Husman said the Social Security Organisation (Socso) Employment Injury Scheme was limited to injuries that occur during working hours, including while commuting.
