Stop Piecemeal Reforms, Engage Stakeholders!

Press Statement by Decent Work Working Group on 20 March 2019 at Shah’s Village Hotel, Petaling Jaya.

*Stop Piecemeal Reforms, Engage Stakeholders!*

The Decent Work Working Group (DWWG), represented by 55 trade unions and NGOs, expressed grave concern that the government has backtracked on several critically important labour law changes found in the Ministry of Human Resources’ (MOHR) initial draft Employment Act amendments in September 2018.

The DWWG has submitted series of proposals with justifications supported by international labour standards including other international standards acceded by the Malaysian government. The Ministry did not have any consultation with DWWG.

“Unilateral rejection of our recommendations without any consultation process shows MOHR is utmost undemocratic, non-transparent and lack of accountability”
