KUALA LUMPUR: Gig workers must be supported with a social security net that also allows them to upskill without having to lose their earnings, says Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.

The Deputy Prime Minister said that with only 222,876 gig workers of the 1.1 million individuals currently making contributions to the Social Security Organisation (Socso), it is pertinent for the Gig Workers’ Economy Act to come into place as soon as possible.
