Monday, 24 May 2021 12:33 PM MYTHuman Resources Minister Datuk Seri M. Saravanan during a press conference at the Setiawangsa Community Centre, April 12, 2021. — Bernama picKUALA LUMPUR, May 24 — Postponing the amendments to the Workers’ Minimum Standards of Housing and Amenities 2019 goes against the Yang di-Pertuan Agong’s decree, claimed National Union of Bank Employees secretary-general J. Solomon.
“The announcement by Saravanan on April 22 to postpone the enforcement of Act 446 until December 2021 clearly runs counter to the said law promulgated under the Emergency Ordinance by his Majesty the Yang di-Pertuan Agong. “We feel this is a serious violation by the minister that goes against the federal constitution and the laws of the country,” he said, adding that Saravanan must explain his actions.
What is his reason? He couldn't even fine and enforce proper housing on Top Glove at the height of 2nd wave previously. How does he plan to prevent another recurrence in the absence of proper housing? Are they waiting for expose from CNN, BBC, MSNBC then they'll take action?
