KUALA LUMPUR, June 27 Transmission level in the community, capacity of public healthcare system, and vaccination rate of the population should be Malaysia’s guiding principles before entering into another phase of the National Recovery Plan (NRP), a four-phase exit strategy from the Covid-19 crisis, and not based on any timeframe, say economists.
SERI KEMBANGAN (Bernama): A proposal to give the Manpower Department the authority to take action against employers who violate work from home (WFH) rules will be brought to the National Security Council (NSC) meeting on Friday (May 28).
Human Resource Minister Datuk Seri M. Saravanan said that currently, only the Health Ministry has the power to act against employers who violate standard operating procedures (SOP). We have received several complaints on private sector employers still forcing their employees to come into the office to work, but when such complaints are brought to us, we cannot take action. The proposal to have the Health Ministry delegate the power to the Manpower Dept has been approved at the technical committee level and will be brought to the NSC committee this evening (Friday).
