Better to be safe than sorry


WE at the Social Security Organisation (Socso) would like to commend Mr Jason Quah from Kuala Lumpur for highlighting the importance of social security coverage for self-employed taxi and e-hailing drivers in a letter to The Star entitled, “Contribute for your own good”, published on March 19 (online at bit.ly/star_socso).

The decision by Mr Quah, an e-hailing driver, to contribute to Socso should be lauded. It shows that Mr Quah understands the benefits of social security coverage.
