IPOH: The Social Security Organisation’s (Socso) latest condition to link its subsidised dialysis treatment with the recipient’s quantum of contributions was the decision of the organisation itself. Human Resources Minister M. Kula Segaran said the decision on the new criteria was made without his knowledge in a meeting on Dec 15. Kula Segaran, who is also Ipoh Barat MP, said this to reporters after attending the Thaipusam celebrations at Gunung Cheroh Temple here today. Before this, Socso said that through the Employee Social Security Act (AKSP) Bill. However, on Thursday, Socso announced the new directive was withdrawn and immediately allowed all eligible contributors to receive dialysis aid as before.
