PETALING JAYA: The human resources ministry has denied claims that a company in Klang issued a memo barring its Muslim staff from performing prayers during working hours.

Earlier today, a spokesman for plastic bag manufacturer Hond Tat Industries Sdn Bhd told FMT the memo barring its Muslim staff from performing prayers during office hours was retracted.She also said there was a misunderstanding over the memo dated July 30. It had yet to be posted on the company’s whiteboard, she added.

The ministry said none of the company’s local and foreign workers it randomly interviewed had seen the notice as it was not issued to them. “The workers also said the company gave them the freedom to perform their prayers during working hours and provided prayer rooms around the factory to make it easier for the staff to pray.”
