Do We Have Enough Money To Retire?

Human Resources Minister Datuk Seri M Saravanan has said that the government is studying whether to transform Socso into a pension scheme.

So first, we’re talking about the SOCSO pension plan and how it could work. And then, how can we save enough for retirement, considering stagnating wages and high cost of living?
