KOTA KINABALU: The proposal to set up a Sabah Labour Advisory Council is right and much overdue, says the Sabah Employers Association (SEA).
said in a statement on Monday that the association has been calling for such a council for many years, as Sabah does not have a dedicated Human Resources Ministry
Yap said Sabah’s employment figure is the second largest in the country, with almost 1.9 million employed persons across all sectors which is equivalent to about 13% of total employed persons for Malaysia, despite a Gross Domestic Product contribution of less than 6%. “SEA foresees the Sabah Labour Consultative Council to address multiple human resource issues; ensuring employers’ compliance, control labour costs, elevating workers’ income by matching real skill sets with industry needs to increase productivity, expediting economic recovery with more employment opportunities,” said Yap.
“SEA urges the state government to setup the Council without delay, with the first item on its agenda to review the Employment Act amendments,” said Yap.
