KUALA LUMPUR, April 23 — A total of 4,500 film industry practitioners will receive full sponsorship for their Social Security Organisation (Socso) contributions for a year under the Self-Employment Social Security Scheme (SKSPS).

Minister of Human Resources Steven Sim said the proactive step through a collaboration between Socso and the National Film Development Corporation of Malaysia (Finas) through the Communications Ministry will be able to address practitioners who were left out from social security coverage.
