KUALA LUMPUR: The MTUC has suggested that the private sector allow Sikhs one day unrecorded leave to enable them celebrate their new year, Vaisakhi.
Vice-president A. Balasubramaniam said it should emulate the government's decision to allow Sikh civil servants one day unrecorded leave for Vaisakhi from next year. Last month, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak announced that from next year Sikh civil servants would enjoy one day unrecorded leave on the annual Vaisakhi which normally falls on April 13 or 14.
