With Wife's Passing, Astro Presenter Akbar Receives A Lifetime Pension
KUALA LUMPUR, July 18 (Bernama) -- A sports presenter with Astro Arena, Akbar Sahari, 50, has been granted a lifetime Survivor's Pension benefit from the Social Security Organisation (Perkeso) following the passing of his wife Noorsuzilawati Mohd Noor, 44, from colon cancer on July 6.
Through the social protection scheme, their three children aged between 13 and 19 are also eligible to receive the benefit until they are 21 years old or until they pursue their first degree.
Perkeso Board chairman Datuk Sri Subahan Kamal said the monthly payment of RM1,441.67 was a continuation of the Disability Pension Benefit that the deceased had previously received since July 5, 2024, as a result of contributions throughout her service since 1999.
