Don't jump to conclusions over leave 'denial' and new mother's death, says deputy minister


KOTA KINABALU: The Sabah Labour Department has investigated the matter of a bereaved man whose wife died shortly after giving birth, says Deputy Human Resources Minister Mustapha Sakmud.

This follows an outcry on social media after the man claimed that he was not granted his seven-day paternity leave and could not stay home with his wife for very long after she delivered their baby.
