00:03 Last week, we announced the Wardah Platform Wanita My Mira
00:19 which was implemented by Talent Corp
00:22 with the aim of helping women to return to the job market
00:26 to return to their jobs
00:28 Today, we can see that we have launched the Carnival Kerjaya Wanita
00:36 where 30 employees are involved
00:40 We would like to congratulate them
00:42 with the offer of 5,000 jobs
00:46 60% of the jobs are executive-level jobs
00:50 and the majority of the jobs are for female employees
00:57 This is our commitment to women
01:00 We want to provide protection to our target
01:05 500,000 women who are protected
01:10 under the Social Security Scheme Suri Rumah Perkeso
01:14 compared to 200,000 years ago
01:17 This is our aim, our target
01:19 To implement this, we are holding various activities
01:23 including the campaign today
01:24 I would like to announce
01:27 We will make some improvements
01:29 to the Social Security Scheme Suri Rumah Perkeso
01:34 Today, I would like to announce two things
01:36 First, the sum of the benefits will increase
01:39 the age of the beneficiaries of the Social Security Scheme Suri Rumah
01:43 from 55 years to 60 years
01:47 We want to be as fast as possible
01:49 Because when we promote this scheme
01:51 we are only allowed to work for 55 years
01:54 whereas the beneficiaries of the Social Security Scheme Perkeso
01:56 are allowed to work for 60 years
01:58 The age of the beneficiaries of the Social Security Scheme Suri Rumah
02:00 is not included in the retirement age
02:02 We want to be as fast as possible
02:04 so that we can be as fast as possible
02:06 with the benefits of the Social Security Scheme Perkeso
02:08 under the Acta IV
02:10 from 55 years to 60 years
02:12 This step will provide opportunities
02:15 to more than 720,000 women in Malaysia
02:19 to be protected under the Social Security Scheme Suri Rumah
02:24 Second, to add benefits to our beneficiaries
02:30 Perkeso will also increase the payment of the funeral
02:34 from RM2,000 to RM3,000
02:38 But I would like to remind you
02:42 that this scheme is not only for the full-time Suri Rumah
02:47 It is also for the women who are not married yet
02:52 whether they are married or single
02:54 full-time Suri Rumah
02:56 or those who are not full-time Suri Rumah
03:00 promise to be a woman
03:02 In our efforts to ensure that
03:04 the Social Security Scheme Suri Rumah
03:06 can reach more women
03:08 I am very happy today
03:10 Earlier, YB Dato Sri Nancy has explained to me
03:14 I don't want to continue
03:16 but I am very happy
03:17 because the suma through Perkeso
03:19 and the Women's Development Ministry
03:21 the community and families
03:23 through the National Charter of Goodwill
03:25 will present the Memorandum of Understanding
03:29 of the Cooperation Programme
03:30 of the Social Security Scheme Suri Rumah
03:34 Through the two years of MOU
03:36 Corporate bodies, private companies
03:38 GLC, NGOs and individuals
03:41 who donated this scheme
03:44 to women from the B40 group
03:47 will be given a tax exemption
03:50 as in Section 44.6
03:53 of the Tax Revenue Act, 1967
03:56 I hope this effort, this MOU
03:59 will encourage more parties
04:02 to show their support
04:04 for the Social Security Scheme Suri Rumah Perkeso
04:07 Today, we will witness
04:10 10 companies that have donated
04:13 almost RM560,000
04:15 to buy the protection of the SKSSR
04:18 to almost 5,000 women
04:21 We are planning a campaign
04:24 to expand the protection of the Social Security Scheme Suri Rumah Perkeso
04:28 with a target of 500,000 donors
04:32 We want to start
04:35 We want to start at home
