KUALA LUMPUR, July 17 — The unwillingness of gig economy operators such as e-hailing and p-hailing platforms to cooperate makes it difficult for the government to improve the social security protection system for workers in the industry.
“...I think it will be more efficient if the contribution is made based on the number of working hours because from there we can determine the total amount of contribution that should be paid.

The forum, which lasted for almost three hours, also discussed how to improve the welfare of gig economy workers.
