Nepal floods: Perkeso payments to next of kin expected on Nov 4 – MASFIH

The Social Security Organisation (Perkeso) is set to disburse payments to the families of Malaysians who lost their lives in the Nepal-Tibet floods on November 4, according to Malaysia Solidarity Families in Hope (MASFIH). Dr Manivannan Rethinam, MASFIH coordinator and spokesperson, confirmed that several families had been informed by Perkeso, who are working diligently to collect necessary documentation to expedite the payments.

Following a meeting with the Human Resources Minister, Perkeso commenced contacting the next of kin of eligible individuals recently. MASFIH played a crucial role in this process by coordinating the contact details of the next of kin, addressing communication challenges, and facilitating direct contact for documentation and payment arrangements.

The organization is still awaiting the government's decision on providing special financial assistance to 54 Malaysian families affected by the tragedy. MASFIH hopes that this matter will be addressed during today's cabinet meeting, leading to a positive decision and concrete measures to support the affected families. MASFIH remains committed to collaborating with authorities and relevant agencies to monitor developments and ensure continuous attention to the welfare of all impacted families.
