Do we have social security disability benefits here?

benefits, fraud, insurance, security, social

I guess none… I dont think we have any security disability benefits here… unless the authority is not telling the public… clearly.

First, what is a social security disability benefit?

I believe only certain country has social security disability or SSD incorporated in their act like the United States.

Under the US federal Social Security Disability Act, “disability” is translated as “inability to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physician or mental impairment which can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months or result in death.”

Here, I guess, it is only available in insurance policies clause… yea… it really sounds more like an insurance policies clause to me…

I’m not really sure if the government is providing any benefits or aids in case of ‘inability’ as mentioned in the US act to any individual here. Of course there is a Welfare Department, but I guess the department is only responsible to issues like poor people…

But I think if there is a SSD benefits provided… I’m sure the are lots of ‘clever’ and ‘lazy’ people will take advantage and do fraud with it! 😛

Today’s dysfunctional society

life, security, social

I’m not sure what your interpretation for social security disability… but I have something very disturbing to share about today’s social security disability.

During lunch this afternoon with a friend, another friend joins us. She just came back from picking her daughter from school.

It was quite sometimes I did not see her. So we had some great chit chat about economic, life, work and many more. But our conversations become serious when she mentioned about the social security problem caused by the bad economic situation today.

She told us how her friends… yes friends… received anonymous calls informing them that their kid has been kidnapped and they want ransom to be paid right away!!!

Her friends become panic, but luckily their mind still work and able to recall the school telephone number and immediately call the school to check on their kid. And it turn out that their kid is still in the school enjoying their classes.

It seems that this is going to be a trend and I believe there were some cases published on the paper already. Reading this kind of news on paper which occur somewhere else will not make much attention to us. But when the news is almost first hand to you, it really makes your mind blow… that’s human nature. So please be alert… if it can happen somewhere else, it can happen at your place. It is dysfunctional society out there.

And all the proprietors are believed to be not locals. Their slangs are very different from the local’s daily slang… be it in Chinese or Malay.

So please, every one should be more careful and alert.

If you are parents having schooling kids, make sure you know the school’s telephone number.

And if you are teacher, when the school’s telephone is ringing, please answer them… don’t just leave it ringing!!! Someone’s life might be in stake.
