KUALA LUMPUR: Having been hit with RM30mil in losses as a result of false claims stretching back seven years, the Social Security Organi­sation (Socso) has decided that enough is enough. It is now training its guns on syndicates and other third parties putting in false claims on behalf of contributors. Mohammed Azman explained that as Socso claims were handled by employers, contributors or their dependents need not rely on third parties or runners. He said in the event of a mishap, an employer need only prepare a report and submit the claim to Socso. “People should think twice when anyone comes and tells them that they can help get Socso claims approved,” he said.
