Bypassing of the Minister proposal lauded

PETALING JAYA: The Human Resour­­ces Minister’s proposal that cases of worker dismissals be referred straight to the Industrial Court without his intervention augurs well for the workforce, experts said.

Labour law practitioner Datuk Thavalingam Thavarajah said the proposed amendment is a step in the right direction as it will remove an administrative element from the process undertaken by the Industrial Court.
