Socso distributed RM20.23 million to 12,582 contributors and their dependents under the Non-Occupational Accident Scheme (Lindung 24 Jam) on October 31, according to Deputy Human Resources Minister Datuk Khairul Firdaus Akbar Khan. The scheme is designed to provide financial support to workers and their families during accidents.
Sabah received 373 benefits, totaling over RM481,000. Khairul Firdaus encouraged workers to maintain their coverage and reassigned individuals who opted out. Additionally, the Mobility Assistance Allowance (EBM) began benefiting its target group on October 1, with RM12,000 disbursed to 12 recipients. This initiative aims to facilitate career transitions in a dynamic labour market without geographical limitations.
The outreach programme, held in Sandakan, demonstrated the Madani Government's commitment to ensuring that social protection benefits reach all people, regardless of their background, occupation, or location, including those in rural and remote areas of Sabah.
