PEOPLE'S SERVICE COUNTER TO BE EXTENDED NATIONWIDE, SAYS KULA SEGARAN

New Straits Times (Online) : 15/07/2018

IPOH: The People’s Service Counter implemented by the Ministry of Human Resources will be extended nationwide, said its Minister M. Kulasegaran.

He said the programme which was started in Perak on July 7 aims at bringing the departments and agencies under the ministry such as the Social Security Organisation (Socso), Labour Department and Department of Occupational Safety and Health (DOSH) closer to the local community.

Kulasegaran, who is also Ipoh Barat MP said the opening of the temporary counter in the public market would make it easier for the local community to report various complaints and to seek employment insurance claims and other services provided.

“We’re not done yet in Perak, it may take three months to complete the exercise in all the public markets in the state and after that we will go to another state.

“We have received positive feedback from the public regarding the opening of the counter,” he told reporters after opening the counter at the Bercham Public Market here today. - Bernama
