Nadi Putra workers, who say they were let go without notice, registering their dissatisfaction.
BUS company Nadi Putra, which services the Putrajaya routes, has resumed operations after a two-day interruption following a dispute with the drivers in its employ on Monday.
A spokesman from Putrajaya Corporation (PPj) confirmed that service had resumed this morning, but was unable to say anything else about the matter.
What is certain is that they will be meeting with the management of Nadi Putra.
Yesterday, Federal Territories Minister Khalid Abdul Samad ordered Nadi Putra to resolve the dispute with its drivers quickly so that it could resume plying the routes in Putrajaya.
Khalid, who was speaking to reporters in Parliament, said the company was not able to operate due to a dispute with its drivers.
He said there were allegations of abuse of power and mismanagement by the company.
According to Khalid, he was told that a few workers from the company had their services terminated, and this led to the bus drivers rising up to stand in solidarity with them and refusing to drive.
“The management denies this and said the termination of the workers was just a coincidence,” he said.
“In any case, there are two sides to a story, so I have asked both the company and PPj (Putrajaya Corporation, the local authority) to resolve the matter,” he said.
The company, a subsidiary of PPj before it was privatised last year, claimed they were unable to perform due to certain promises not being kept (by the previous government).
