00:00Please have a seat.
00:04You may proceed.
00:08Since it was passed in Parliament in December 2022,
00:11in more than two years,
00:13a total of 1,308 households have received benefits
00:18through the amount of interest payments of 4.2 million ringgit.
00:23This is equivalent to the number of registrations of 514,105 households last year,
00:30while reaching a target of more than 100%
00:34set by the Honourable Minister of Human Resources, Stephen Sim.
00:38With this protection,
00:40households that previously did not have a financial security network
00:44are now getting better benefits
00:46in dealing with emergency situations such as accidents,
00:49loss of income as a result of an injury or a serious illness.
00:53The success of this programme proves the importance of continuous support
00:57from the government, the corporate sector
01:00and the people in strengthening the national social protection system.
01:04Therefore, we have a media campaign to encourage more companies
01:08to use this opportunity to enjoy a pay rise
01:13when they hire their female employees.
01:18The Ministry of Labour has also collaborated with Perkeso
01:26and other companies,
01:28i.e. companies' staff who want to hire their wives
01:33and JTK allows them to cut their salary by RM10 per month
01:38if they are paid by the company in advance.
01:44The SKSSR scheme is RM120 per year,
01:50but it is an upfront payment.
01:52You pay first so you can enjoy the benefit.
01:55At the same time, we encourage housewives
01:59to save RM10 per month if they are sponsored by the company.
02:06If the period is one year,
02:10they will have RM120 to continue the scheme.
02:16This is our concern as well.
02:18The continuity of the coverage.
02:22We understand that RM120 is a lot of money for housewives.
02:28It can be used for grocery shopping, marketing,
02:34it pays your bills, it's petrol money.
02:37That's why we ask for companies and government agencies
02:43to contact government agencies and ministries
02:49where their B40 staff,
02:52such as cleaners,
02:55can use this opportunity to hire their female employees
03:01to enjoy a pay rise.
03:03For those who haven't been hired yet,
03:06we hope you can hire here.
03:08It's made very easy.
03:10There's a QR code that you can scan.
03:12You can also contribute and hire for yourself.
03:15I've already hired for myself last year
03:19and I got a notification this year
03:21that my due date is coming near,
03:23so I have to prepare another RM120
03:25to continue my hiring for myself.
03:28I hope if you have not done it,
03:30you can do it for yourself.
03:32For all the men here,
03:33you can also do it for your female family members.
03:36You can charge for them also.
03:38We know we just celebrated International Women's Day.
03:41There's still a big debate
03:43about the role and function of housewives
03:46who do an unquantifiable job.
03:5124 hours, 7 days a week,
03:54no ER, no emergency leave, no MC.
03:58This is a token of appreciation by the government,
04:01particularly through Perkeso,
04:03to provide social security for housewives.
