Rather than withdraw their own savings from the Employees Provident Fund, Kapar MP Abdullah Sani today said workers out of jobs due to the Covid-19 outbreak should instead claim their employment insurance.

The former union leader said since workers have contributed to the Employment Insurance System (EIS), they now have a right to claim for its full benefits.
