KUALA LUMPUR: The Social Security Organisation (Perkeso) will provide rehabilitation aids to two female media practitioners injured in an accident in Menglembu, Ipoh, early yesterday morning to support their recovery.
In a statement today, Perkeso said the incident was classified as an employment injury as they were travelling for an official assignment and both were covered under the Employees' Social Security Act 1969 under the Lindung Pekerja scheme.
Malaysian National News Agency (Bernama) journalist Nur Afiradina Arshad, 34, sustained a neck injury requiring a neck brace, abrasions on her body, and a sprained ankle that had become swollen.
"She received treatment at Raja Permaisuri Bainun Hospital (HRPB) and was discharged on Sunday. She has been given one month of medical leave and Perkeso will provide her with suitable rehabilitation aids upon receiving the medical report from her doctor.
