KUALA LUMPUR: The Social Security Organisation (Socso) needs to constantly keep its policies and employee protection programmes abreast with current developments, especially the latest risks such as climate change, technology, economic patterns and the employment market.
This message was delivered by the new Human Resource Minister Steven Sim Chee Keong in his official working visit to Menara Perkeso on Jalan Ampang here on Thursday (Dec 14).
"The world is expanding fast. If we are still stuck in our old environment, we will be left behind. It's time to double our efforts in the struggle to bring benefit to the people,” he said in a statement issued by Socso.
Also present during the visit was Deputy Human Resources Minister Datuk Seri Abdul Rahman Mohamad
According to Socso, the minister’s delegation arrived at 11am and was brought to visit the operation at the counter before attending a briefing by Socso group chief executive officer, Datuk Seri Dr Mohammed Azman Aziz Mohammed.
The briefing touched on the development of current issues, including the cyber hacking incident on Dec 2, which is currently undergoing internal forensic investigation.
Sim, who was previously Deputy Finance Minister, was appointed as Human Resources Minister following the Cabinet reshuffle announced by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim on Tuesday, while Abdul Rahman was previously Deputy Works Minister.- Bernama
