MyEG Covid-19 screening portal completes initiative with Socso

MYEG Services Bhd has completed an initiative with the Social Security Organisation (Socso) which streamlines the eligibility checks for those seeking Socso’s Prihatin Screening Programme (PSP) subsidy.

Those using MyEG’s one-stop portal for Covid-19 screening will now be able to more easily claim the subsidy, in a more seamless and efficient manner, according to MyEG’s Bursa filing dated July 8.

MyEG received the confirmation from Socso via a letter dated July 2.

The portal, which is a private initiative for employers to register and arrange on-site Covid-19 screening for workers, was launched on May 12.

May 13 saw an announcement that MyEG was not in collaboration with Socso regarding the portal, though the Labour Department had expressed its support for the portal.

At 4.22pm, MyEG’s shares were last done at RM1.49, up a sen, with 14 million shares changing hands. – July 8, 2020
