On November 4, the Human Resources Minister, R. Ramanan, announced that a total of RM174,000 in benefits would be paid to the families of 28 out of 54 victims from the Nepal-Tibet flood tragedy. The Social Security Organisation (Socso) determined that these 28 victims met the eligibility criteria for the financial aid. The payout consists of an immediate financial assistance of RM3,000 and a Survivors’ Pension under the Invalidity Scheme.
Among the 28 eligible families, 16 were present during the press conference at the PERKESO Tower in Kuala Lumpur. The minister expressed sympathy for the families, who continue to worry about the whereabouts of their loved ones. Ramanan highlighted that the Ministry of Human Resources, through Socso, aimed to provide adequate protection and support to the eligible next-of-kin.
The pension disbursement process would be finalized once all necessary information and documentation were in place. For those who lacked Socso contribution records, the minister assured that their families were still being closely monitored. Additionally, the Social Synergy Programme would link affected families with 990 strategic partners and 130 agencies nationwide to provide more assistance.
