KUALA LUMPUR, July 23 — Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s wish to meet p-hailing companies to discuss complaints of low delivery rates and commission is lauded especially with the rising cost of living.
“The government needs to ensure they contribute to the Self-Employed Social Security Scheme under the Social Security Organisation . This is because if they are involved in accidents, they have no social protection currently,” she told Bernama. Yesterday, the Prime Minister, at a ‘Himpunan Rider Madani Selangor’ asked to be given a week for him to meet with p-hailing companies to get a clearer picture of the situation.
On the RM1 million allocation, he said, it proved the government’s commitment to looking after the welfare of gig economy workers.
