Labuan: The Social Security Organisation (PERKESO) here continues to play its core role of identifying and assisting eligible beneficiaries by reaching out directly to families affected by tragedies.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, Labuan PERKESO manager Sylvester Candy Anak Pai emphasized the organisation's dedication to ensuring that eligible dependents receive the protection and assistance provided under the national social security system. "PERKESO will always be on the lookout to identify families who are eligible for our benefits. Through visits such as this, we are able not only to extend our condolences but also to clearly explain the assistance available so that no rightful recipient is left behind," he stated.

He made these remarks after visiting the family of the late Mohd Faizal Musiman, an accident victim and PERKESO benefit recipient, at Kampung Pohon Batu. Mohd Faizal, 33, who served as an auxiliary policeman at Labuan port, tragically lost his life when his motorcycle was hit by a Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV) along Jalan Rancha-Rancha.

"During the visit, we explained the benefits and assistance available to the family and presented a Care Box as a gesture of support," Sylvester added. He further mentioned that following a review, PERKESO confirmed that the victim's dependents are eligible to receive the Survivors' Pension, which is expected to help ease the family's financial burden.
