PERKESO Benefits Offer Relief To Family Of Former Media Practitioner
GENERAL KUALA LUMPUR, May 28 (Bernama) -- The widow of a former journalist who died of lymphoma last week is among the latest recipients of social security support from the Social Security Organisation (PERKESO), in what she described as a crucial lifeline for her family. Anis Sabariah Kamaruddin, 45, whose husband Mohd Khairi Mazlan passed away on May 25, will receive a one-off Funeral Management Benefit (FPM) of RM3,000 and a monthly Survivors' Pension of RM2,553. In a statement today, PERKESO stated that the benefits, made possible by Mohd Khairi's final contribution in June 2021, are set to commence by the end of this month. Anis, now the sole carer for four children aged between nine and 20, including one with special needs, said the assistance was deeply appreciated. 'Alhamdulillah, these benefits will help us meet daily expenses and support our children's education,' she said. The late Mohd Khairi had a long-standing career, having worked with Utusan Malaysia, New Straits Times and Dagang News. PERKESO described his passing as an irreplaceable loss to his family and reaffirmed its commitment to ensuring that contributors and their dependents are not left behind. 'Social security protection is more than just financial aid. It represents enduring care and love for those left behind,' it said. PERKESO also reminded employers of their responsibility to make consistent contributions on behalf of employees, stressing that such protection is vital in the face of life's uncertainties.
