KUALA LUMPUR: The budget reflects the government’s farsightedness on the people’s welfare, said Social Security Organisation (Socso) chief executive officer Datuk Seri Dr Mohammed Azman Aziz Mohammed. “With a prepaid annual minimum of just RM157.20, entertainers, farmers, fishermen, construction workers and food delivery riders can receive benefits. “Their benefits will depend on the amount they contribute, in the form of replacement of income, or a one-off payment. Their dependents will receive lifelong benefits. The scheme also includes rehab and funeral benefits.”
