Grab Drivers Across Malaysia Now Receive Full SOCSO Protection
Grab Drivers Across Malaysia Now Receive Full SOCSO Protection
Grab drivers throughout Malaysia have recently secured full protection under the Social Security Organisation (SOCSO), marking a significant milestone in efforts to support gig workers. This development reflects a notable achievement in safeguarding the rights of workers within the expanding gig economy.
馬來西亞各地的Grab司機最近在社會安全組織（SOCSO）的全面保護下取得了成功，在支持零工工作者的努力中邁出了重要的一步。這一進展反映出在不斷擴大的零工經濟中保護工人權益方面的顯著成就。
As a former Minister of Human Resources and Member of Parliament for Batu Gajah, I am delighted to see the ambition to protect gig workers finally realised. This progress represents a major step forward in securing the rights of those engaged in the rapidly growing gig economy.
作爲前人力資源部長和Batu Gajah國會議員，我很高興看到保護零工工作者的雄心終於實現。這一進展代表着在確保快速增長的零工經濟中從業人員權益方面的重大進步。
The gig workforce in Malaysia is on the rise, aligning with global trends, as more individuals opt for flexible employment to achieve a better work-life balance. It is estimated that around 1.3 million gig workers are active across various platforms in Malaysia. A primary challenge for these workers has been the lack of formal protection.
馬來西亞的零工勞動力人數正在增加，與全球趨勢保持一致，越來越多的人選擇靈活就業以實現更好的工作與生活平衡。據估計，馬來西亞各平台上有大約130萬活躍的零工工作者。這些工作者面臨的主要挑戰是缺乏正式的保護。
It is crucial to highlight that gig workers have not been classified as employees under the Employment Act 1955. Consequently, they are not covered by this legislation and are instead classified merely as gig workers, resulting in a lack of formal job protection.
需要強調的是，根據1955年的就業法，零工工作者並未被歸類爲僱員。因此，他們不受此法律的保護，僅僅被歸類爲零工工作者，導致缺乏正式的工作保護。
I commend SOCSO for its initiatives, particularly with the introduction of the Self-Employment Social Security Scheme (SESS) for freelancers. This scheme not only provides necessary protection for gig workers but also supports the sustainable growth of Malaysia's gig economy.
我讚揚SOCSO的舉措，特別是引入自僱零工社會安全計劃（SESS）爲自由職業者提供必要的保護。這一計劃不僅爲零工工作者提供了必要的保護，還支持了馬來西亞零工經濟的可持續增長。
Looking ahead, it is suggested that SOCSO should broaden the scope of protection to include a wider range of gig workers, enhance awareness about the importance of social protection among these workers, and collaborate closely with digital platform companies to ensure adherence to social protection regulations.
展望未來，建議SOCSO應該擴大保護範圍，包括更廣泛的零工工作者，並增強這些工作者對社會保障重要性的認識，並與數字平台公司密切合作，確保按照社會保障規定進行。
The extension of SOCSO protection to Grab drivers represents a crucial advancement in the evolution of social protection in Malaysia. This move demonstrates the authorities' commitment to addressing the needs of the modern workforce and sets the stage for more comprehensive protection for all gig workers in the future.
將SOCSO保護範圍擴展到Grab司機是馬來西亞社會保障進化的重要進展。這一舉措表明當局致力於解決現代勞動力的需求，併爲未來爲所有零工工作者提供更全面的保護做好了準備。
