Influencers, Have You Got Yourself Protected?

Posted on July 29, 2020


Hey, influencers! 

First of all, have you got yourself protected by SOCSO against work injuries & accidents? If not, we have got a great news for you! Malaysian influencers are now eligible for the coverage! 

SushiVid has recently collaborated with PERKESO to provide SOCSO coverage for all of you! Instead of paying a full 100% for full coverage, you only need to pay 30% and get the remaining 70% subsidise by the government! This initiative is effective from 15 June 2020 - 31 December 2021

  • Before subsidies: RM232.80 per year (what you need to pay before this)
  • After subsidies: RM69.80 per year (government will subsidise the remaining RM163.00)

Isn’t that awesome?! 

Better still, SushiVid is here to preventing you from going through the hassle to apply this on your own! We have got your back! *wink wink*
