Is SOCSO protecting workers or blood sucking them?
Today i went to meet my friend who is a tyre boss shop. While we were drinking coffee suddenly he was talking how crappy SOSCO was.
Social Security Organisation or in short where we all know it as SOSCO. I guess many will not give a damm about what SOSCO really stands for as it is not doing enough to protect the working class people in Malaysia.
SOCSO is some sort like an insurance company which protects the working group of people in Malaysia. Yeah, as far as i know, each and every local employee must buy SOSCO. CRAP!!!
While drinking, suddenly my friend shared with me a horror story involving SOCSO. SOCSO apparently wanted to reject the claims of S. Vadivelan as he had an accident while going to have a meal after work.
I really felt pity for Vadi (in short) as he is disabled due to a spinal injury from an accident. Guess what was the argument by SOCSO for not wanting to pay Vadi?
- Vadi turned right to go to foodstall instead of turning left to go home
- Vadi met the accident while he was away from his work
I was like stunned on what kind of mentality SOCSO can have. Come on man, people already disabled and couldn’t work and SOCSO got the guts to bring this issue to the court and drag this case for like 8 long years? You must be kidding me man…
What’s the point buying insurance and this insurance is compulsory to buy with so many clauses on it? Isn’t this ridiculous? Like that, better we get insurance from companies like Prudential, Great Eastern, and many more. These companies don’t ask much. As long as you are disabled, they pay you straight. No questions asked!
Thank God the judge still has some heart in him and finally Vadi will be compensated by SOCSO. Yeah, after 8 long years…
This is just one of the HORROR stories created by SOCSO and there are many more. I am sure all the bosses out there will know better. In short we deserve better as we are not getting it for free. We are paying. TAK NAK to SOCSO!
So it’s your call whether SOCSO is protecting workers or blood sucking them? I say they are blood suckers worst then vampires! I would not mind if employers that don’t pay SOCSO but not EPF. I would not mind if employers don’t pay SOCSO but please do make sure you buy a basic insurance coverage for your employees.
