Hold off on changes to Employment Act until businesses recover, says builders group

PETALING JAYA: Amendments to the Employment Act 1955 to be implemented next month should be postponed until businesses have fully recovered, says the Master Builders Association Malaysia (MBAM).

Its president Oliver Wee Hiang Chyn said the construction industry would struggle to accommodate additional costs incurred from enforcement of amendments of Employment Act 1995, as these had not been budgeted for.
