The widow and children of a motorcyclist killed in a Klang road accident will receive a monthly survivor pension of RM2,888.17 from the Social Security Organisation.
Shah Alam: The welfare of the widow and three children of a motorcyclist killed in a road accident at Jalan Raya Barat, Klang last Sunday will continue to be protected as they qualify for a monthly survivor pension of RM2,888.17 from the Social Security Organization (PERKESO).
Perkeso Group chief executive officer Datuk Seri Dr Mohd Azman Aziz Mohd said the investigation found that the late Amirul Hafiz Omar, 33, who had worked at TVH Malaysia Sdn Bhd for 15 years, was an active contributor under the Employees Social Security Act 1969 (Act 4).
“The records of late Amirul Hafeez satisfy the eligibility requirements under the Invalidation Scheme, thus qualifying him to receive survivor pension as continued financial support to his dependents.
“His contribution now serves as a lifeline for his wife, 32-year-old Nor Nadia Abdul Majid, and their three children, aged two to nine, Muhammad Akif Amsyar, Muhammad Afif Is Rayal and Noor Humaira,” he said.
He said this while visiting Nor Nadia at Ken Rimba Apartment, Section 16 here today and presenting him with a sum of RM3,000 for survivor pension and funeral management benefits.
Mohd Azman said Nor Nadia is eligible for lifetime monthly payments, while the children will receive financial support for their education until they turn 21 or complete their first degree, with a total monthly benefit of RM2,888.17.
“The loss of a loved one cannot be compensated, but the social security provided by Perceso can serve as an important safeguard in ensuring the continued livelihood of dependents.
“Continuous contributions are the foundation of this security and in this case, they have become a lifeline to the future of the deceased’s family,” he said.
Mohammad Azman also urged employers who have not yet registered to register immediately, and contribute to their employees under the Employees Social Security Act 1969, as the protection provided today serves as a guarantee for the future, noting that misfortune can strike at any time.
He said social protection in the informal sector has also been strengthened through the implementation of the Gig Workers Act 2025 (Act 872), which came into force on March 31.
“This new act officially extends social security protection under Perkeso to more than 1.64 million gig workers in Malaysia, ensuring compensation and welfare if they are involved in accidents while working,” he said.
Last Wednesday (April 1), 28-year-old R., a laboratory assistant, Sakthiganapathi was charged with the murder of Amirul Hafiz in the Klang Magistrate’s Court.
Earlier, Klang Selatan police chief ACP Lim Jit Huey reportedly said that in an incident at about 11.40pm on Sunday (29 March), a motorcyclist died after being hit by a car driver who was believed to be under the influence of alcohol and drugs.
In another development, Mohd Azman said there are employers in Malaysia who do not consistently contribute to Perkeso to cut costs.
He said that before Perkeso took action against these erring employers, it was detected through a records check.
