Ramanan: Socso to pay RM174,000 in benefits to families of 28 Nepal-Tibet flood victims

In response to the flood tragedy in the Nepal-Tibet region on August 26, Malaysia's Human Resources Minister Datuk Seri R.

Ramanan announced that 28 of the 54 victims met Social Security Organisation (Socso) eligibility criteria, enabling their families to receive benefits.

A total of RM174,000 has been disbursed, including RM3,000 in immediate aid and a Survivors' Pension under the Invalidity Scheme.

Socso, ensuring no family is overlooked, is also coordinating additional support through the Social Synergy Programme.

Ramanan emphasized the government's commitment to supporting families affected by the tragedy.

KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 4 — Twenty-eight out of the 54 victims of the flood tragedy in the Nepal-Tibet region on August 26 met the contribution eligibility requirements of Social Security Organisation (Socso), thereby entitling their next-of-kin to receive benefits.

Human Resources Minister Datuk Seri R. Ramanan said the total payout, amounting to RM174,000, includes an immediate financial aid of RM3,000 as well as a Survivors’ Pension under the Invalidity Scheme, which has been disbursed to the families of the affected victims.

“Today, 16 families (out of the 28 eligible families) are present. I understand that, to this day, these families continue to face uncertainty regarding the fate of their loved ones. I am well aware that no form of assistance can truly alleviate such deep anxiety.

“Nevertheless, on behalf of the government, I do not want these families especially those who have lost their primary breadwinner to bear this burden alone. Therefore, the Ministry of Human Resources (Kesuma), through Socso, has strived to ensure that the eligible next-of-kin receive appropriate protection and support,” he said.

He made these remarks during a press conference held today at the PERKESO Tower in Kuala Lumpur, regarding the disbursement of Socso benefits to the victims of the Nepal floods. Also present were Socso board chairman Datuk Seri Subahan Kamal and Socso group chief executive officer Datuk Seri Dr. Mohammed Azman Aziz Mohammed.

Ramanan noted that Socso has conducted a thorough review to ensure that no eligible next-of-kin is overlooked or excluded from receiving the necessary protection.

“The pension disbursement process will be carried out as soon as all relevant information and documentation are complete. For victims who do not have a record of Socso contributions, please know that we remain deeply concerned and attentive to the plight of your families.”

“Through the Social Synergy Programme, Socso will help connect affected families with 990 strategic partners including 130 agencies nationwide to identify other suitable forms of assistance to help ease their burden,” he said. — Bernama

针对8月26日尼泊尔-西藏地区发生的洪灾，马来西亚人力资源部长拿督斯里R.

拉马南宣布，54 名受害者中有 28 人符合社会保障组织 (Socso) 的资格标准，他们的家人可以领取福利。

已发放总额为 174,000 令吉，其中包括 3,000 令吉的紧急援助金和根据残疾抚恤金计划发放的遗属抚恤金。

社会保险机构（Socso）为确保不遗漏任何家庭，还通过社会协同计划协调提供额外支持。

拉马南强调了政府对受这场悲剧影响的家庭的支持承诺。

吉隆坡，11 月 4 日讯——8 月 26 日尼泊尔-西藏地区洪灾的 54 名受害者中，有 28 人符合社会保障组织 (Socso) 的缴款资格要求，因此他们的近亲有权获得福利。

人力资源部长拿督斯里拉马南表示，总额为17.4万令吉的赔偿金包括3000令吉的紧急财政援助，以及根据残疾抚恤金计划发放给受影响受害者家属的遗属抚恤金。

“今天，28个符合条件的家庭中，有16个家庭到场。我知道，直到今天，这些家庭仍然面临着亲人命运的不确定性。我也深知，任何形式的援助都无法真正减轻这种深深的焦虑。”

“然而，我代表政府表示，我不希望这些家庭，特别是那些失去主要经济支柱的家庭，独自承担这份重担。因此，人力资源部（Kesuma）通过社会保险机构（Socso）一直努力确保符合条件的近亲获得适当的保护和支持，”他说道。

他今天在吉隆坡PERKESO大厦举行的新闻发布会上发表了上述讲话，内容涉及向尼泊尔洪灾受害者发放社险救济金。社险董事会主席拿督斯里苏巴汉·卡迈勒和社险集团首席执行官拿督斯里穆罕默德·阿兹曼·阿齐兹·穆罕默德博士也出席了发布会。

拉马南指出，社险机构已进行彻底审查，以确保任何符合条件的近亲都不会被遗漏或排除在获得必要保障之外。

“一旦所有相关信息和文件齐全，我们将立即发放养老金。对于没有社险缴款记录的受害者，请放心，我们始终高度关注并密切留意你们家庭的困境。”

他说：“通过社会协同计划，社险机构将帮助受影响的家庭联系全国990个战略合作伙伴，其中包括130个机构，以确定其他合适的援助形式，从而减轻他们的负担。”——马新社
