The Malaysian Trade Union Congress (MTUC) has called out the Social Security Organisation (Socso) for changing the status of Covid-19-related claims from an employment injury to an occupational disease.

In urging for intervention from Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob, MTUC secretary-general Kamarul Baharin Mansor in a statement, said Socso's management had made a "regressive move" that did not take into account workers' interests.
