Sivakumar. The Human Resources Minister said the number was recorded in the first seven days since the scheme was implemented on Dec 1. The ministry, he said, targeted 500,000 registrations from the total 2.9 million housewives by next year. “The initiative is open to all Malaysian citizens and permanent residents, aged below 55, with no minimum age limit for those who wish to contribute. “Housewives eligible for the scheme will have to contribute RM120 per year in advance to receive domestic disaster benefits and invalidity benefits for 12 months,” he told a press conference yesterday. Benefit payments under the scheme range from RM200 to RM50,000, depending on the types of benefits and injuries. We’ve got you covered: Sivakumar speaking on the SKSSR at the Human Resources Ministry in Putrajaya. — Bernama We’ve got you covered: Sivakumar speaking on the SKSSR at the Human Resources Ministry in Putrajaya. — Bernama Among the benefits under both protections are medical, permanent disability, constant-attendance-allowance, facilities for physical or dialysis, funeral benefits and survivors’ pension. Sivakumar said the scheme would also cover housewives when they were outside their house to perform domestic duties such as picking up their children from the school or accidents while shopping for groceries. He said SKSSR was different from commercial insurance as it provides a low premium but offers a wider coverage. The scheme is also open to all including those with pre-existing health problems. Sivakumar also said SKSSR differs from i-Suri, which does not cover non-working women. Those who wish to register under the scheme can do so via the Social Security Organisation (Socso) website. Payment can be done online or at all Socso counters. For more information, visit the official website at www.perkeso.gov.my or call the hotline at 1-300-22-8000.
