Press Statements
Once again it is transparent which a Malaysian cabinet lacks a apportion to sufficient represent a interests of workers, as well as which a Human Resources Minister Dr S. Subramaniam as well as his ministry have been biased in favour of employers.
The minister's recent statement echoing a claim of employers which a job-hopping immature Malaysian workforce was what gathering employers to sinecure unfamiliar work is disappointing. He took it upon himself to chide these immature workers calling them fickle-minded for 'liking' to burst from a single company to another as well as suggested which they should be educated on a consequences.
Workers have a right to select their jobs. You can't want a free marketplace as well as additionally wail against it during a same time. Further, to contend immature workers have been fickle-minded about jobs is same to saying workers change jobs since! they ha ve been fussy about a colour of a factory walls. It is an insane matter since it deliberately ignores as well as hides a underlying actuality which workers have been forced to look for other jobs when work conditions become unbearable.
Instead of deliberation this factor, a apportion seems to be straightforwardly shopping what unequivocally is a fact invented by employers for employing unfamiliar workers.Many employers severely enterprise unfamiliar workers as they have been even some-more exploitable than their Malaysian counterparts, generally immature Malaysian workers. They have been cheaper, as well as their gentleness is assured by prejudicial as well as unjust practices such as a withholding of passports as well as cancelling of work permits during will by bosses.
Intimidating immigration officials as well as reckless work laws offer serve await for employers in employing unfamiliar workers.
It is formidable to imagine which a apportion is unaware of all this.
Malaysian workers need a genuine deputy in government, someone who listens to workers as well as well as someone who is familiar with a hard times faced by a working poor. We need someone who will quarrel for a better smallest wage,one which takes in to account a cost of living, as well as a single which indeed increases their shopping power, not a single which merely repackages existing allowances as well as incentives with wages.
The workers deputy must prevent a erosion of existing rights as well as safeguard pursuit confidence by blocking a contractualisation of work for non-seasonal work.
