BANGKOK: Thai authorities are implementing measures and adjusting strategies in case the ongoing flood situation in different parts of Thailand worsens, although the Finance Minister believes it will not be as bad as the great flood of 2011.
KUALA LUMPUR: A gap in the lack of social protection is a gap in our collective humanity, says Social Security Organisation chief executive officer Datuk Seri Dr Mohammed Azman Aziz Mohammed .
Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi officiated at the seminar attended by 1,667 participants from 25 countries. "As we assess the landscape of work today, the disparities between formal employment and informal or platform work become clear. “The Covid-19 pandemic highlighted these gaps in the harshest light. Many workers were left without access to basic protections such as unemployment insurance and sickness benefits. This discrepancy is not just a gap in policy, rather it is a gap in our collective humanity. It is a gap in justice,” said Azman.
“ISSA will continue to be a key partner in Malaysia's journey towards enacting robust legislation, such as a potential Gig Worker Act. This collaboration ensures that Malaysia remains at the forefront of social protection for all workers,” said Azman.
