Work towards an insurance scheme to protect all

WHETHER we call it employment insurance or unemployment insurance, Malaysians will have plenty to talk about if the Government decides to go ahead with the introduction of an insurance scheme to help both workers and employers to cope with a more demanding labour market.

In his Labour Day speech, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said the Employment Insurance Scheme was being considered as a way to better protect employees as well as to make it easier for employers to run businesses.
