Not many knows this, but Social Security Organisation (Socso) contributors are also covered outside working hours.
This is where they can apply for aid under the Mishap Pension Scheme (Skim Pencen Ilat) for accidents, mishaps or illnesses that occur outside working hours.
A recent report from The Star Newspaper quoted social worker Chong Sin Wooi, 36, as saying that that not many people were aware that Socso provided aid for such cases.
“The common perception is that claims can only be made for mishaps for work related injuries. So long as one is a Socso contributor for at least one-third of his career and is below the retirement age of 55, one is able to apply for such aid,” he said.
He said that this scheme included illnesses such as cancer, asthma, and heart attacks certified by doctors.
He added that Socso also provided aid for those undergoing kidney dialysis.
“Those undergoing dialysis treatment do so at least twice a week, with a charge of up to RM150 for each treatment. They can apply to have their treatments subsidised by Socso,” said Choong.
He said this at a workshop held at the Tanjung Bunga Community Development and Security Committee (JKKK) office that about 20 members took part in.
So, know your rights. Your contributions should not go to waste.

Asia Pacific: Hot bed for engineering jobs?
Apparently engineering haven is here, according to an excellent article by Ron Schneiderman for IEEE Signal Processing Magazine.
He noted that the Asia-Pacific region, or APAC, is home to more than 60 percent of the world's population and many of its largest and most successful high-tech companies. So it's not surprising that the region is a hotbed of recruiting for technical professionals--especially engineers.
“Intel announced in February that it planned to hire 1000 software engineers this year, many of whom will be in Asia,” he wrote, quoting Lori Weber, Intel's global hiring director who said that the company had already hired around 50 percent of its initial goal by recruiting a combination of experienced and college graduate candidates.
Without giving any numbers, Webersaid some of the newly-hired software engineers will be based in Shanghai and India. "We will continue hiring outside the United States as needed to support our presence in the overseas markets, which generate approximately three-fourths of Intel's revenues."
Shneiderman also noted that Microsoft likewise has more than 100 openings for mostly software engineers in China and almost that many slots for engineers in India.
“Apparently in response to an increasingly competitive environment in recruiting and retaining top technical talent (Google gave out 10 percent pay raises this year), Microsoft says that beginning in September it will offer raises in salary and stock awards to attract and retain staff. As CEO Steve Balmer wrote in an internal e-mail to Microsoft employees, "... the changes we're rolling out will help ensure Microsoft continues to be the place that top talent comes to change the world."
Check out more of the article at the magazine’s online site.
