APRIL 20 — The Consumers’ Association of Penang finds it shocking that the Social Security Organisation had agreed to bear Covid-19 screening fee for all employees who had to work during the current Movement Control Order .
A close monitoring system has to be implemented to ensure that the preventive measures against Covid-19 infection at the employees’ workplace are strictly adhered to. Let us remind the government that Socso belongs and is accountable to about seven million active employees . By arbitrarily utilising the fund of about seve million active contributors nationwide should raise eyebrows as such decision is not justifiable.
It was, however, a stillbirth; given the current situation, it is important for the government to introduce the allowance because employees are compelled to work under circumstances of extraordinary risk.
U can propose whatever u want. But d reality is miti is trying to keep companies fr closing n pulling out of M’sia. So if sosco paying fr it, it’s likely govt weighed up loading d cost 2 struggling companies v helping them so can earn tax revenue n keep jobs. look at big picture
Ingat socso will cover that?
