Why no Socso payment for single parents?

I HAVE been receiving my late husband’s Socso pension for many years. Previously, we were not allowed to get the payment if we remarry.

Widows who remarried have their current husbands to take care of them financially yet still get to keep their first husband’s pension apart from their own salary.
