  "summary": "The Lindung 24 Jam scheme, introduced by the Social Security Organisation (Perkeso) on June 1, provides income support and rehabilitation for workers who suffer accidents outside working hours. This scheme complements Perkeso's existing protections by offering treatment and rehabilitation equipment, injury-related implants, physical rehabilitation at Perkeso-managed centres, and vocational support to help workers return to their normal lives and jobs. The scheme aims to address the broader impact of accidents on workers' income and family financial well-being, as the burden of medical bills can extend beyond the initial medical treatment to affect daily expenses and family support.",
