COMMENT | New safety net for domestic workers a giant leap forward Modified2:45 am - COMMENT | In one fell swoop, the government’s move to allow social security coverage to be extended to domestic workers from June 1 onwards will bring the rights of workers in this feminised sector closer to being on par with all other workers in Malaysia since the country's independence 63 years ago. Persatuan Sahabat Wanita Selangor (PSWS) welcomes the government’s giant leap forward to ensure the protection of local and migrant domestic workers in Malaysia who have never had a safety net that will take care of them if they were to get hurt or injured while carrying out their work.
