In a regular meeting of the Standing Council on Social Concerted Action yesterday, two representatives from the business sector expressed dissatisfaction with the fact that the government decided that the ratio that employees and employers pay into the Social Security Fund (FSS) for their monthly dues will remain unchanged at 1:2, and then stormed out of the meeting shortly after it had began.
Customarily, the council’s meetings are held behind closed doors.
According to council’s website, the council, chaired by Secretary for Economy and Finance Lionel Leong Vai Tac consists of five business sector representatives and five labour representatives, as well as a number of government officials.
