Suhakam: Socso needs more Indian officers
THE Human Rights Commission (Suhakam) has urged Human Resources Minister Datuk Dr S. Subramaniam to look into revamping Socso.
Suhakam Commissioner Datuk N. Sivasubramaniam was quoted in Tamil Nesan as saying that more Indian officers were needed to deal with the problems faced by Indians in submitting their claims.
He said many Indians were forced to pay exorbitant fees to middlemen for help in filling the necessary forms.
He said that the Indian officers would be able to help the workers affected by industrial accidents by guiding and helping them to file their claims and get their compensation through proper channels without delay.
He said the number of union representatives appointed by the Human Resources Ministry to advice the workers on submitting their claims must be increased.
There are now only four.
