Knowing & Appreciating
SOS Welfare Benefits
The Union’s Welfare Benefits Scheme, which is exclusively offered to SOS members, was given the limelight on 23 January 2008 at
the In-House Talk. The two hour talk attracted some 45 members to the Seacare Building.
“We did not want any of our member to miss out on the wonderful benefits SOS offers. Thus we organised this talk to ensure that
our members fully understand and utilize the scheme which they are entitled to,” said Mr David Sim, Chairman, SOS Membership
and Organising Committee, who presented the talk.
The talk encompasses explanations on the various categories of membership such as the Founder Membership, Cadre
Membership, Ordinary Membership, Participating Membership and Associateship for Life. The current benefits were revisited to
remind members of their entitlements as well as the various areas that the membership welfare benefits scheme covers.
Ms Nur Adila Juman, Admin Secretary, SOS Welfare and Community Services Committee, also highlighted the general qualifying
conditions, procedures and general rules in claiming their benefits.
The in-house talk provided the platform for members to voice out any question and clear any uncertainty that they have about
the Scheme. The workshop participants left the hall with a clearer picture of the benefits scheme that they are eligible for and they
were grateful for their entitlements as SOS members.
