Youth need to equip themselves with various skills, knowledge, says Sim

PUTRAJAYA: Human Resources Minister Steven Sim (pic) has called on the youth to equip themselves with various knowledge and skills to navigate the era of globalisation successfully, given that flexible working hours are now being practised worldwide.

He said that flexible working hours are enshrined in Sections 60P and 60Q of the Employment Act 1955 (Amendment) 2022, where employees have the right to request flexible work arrangements from their employers, including changes to working hours, days and location, subject to Part XII or any provisions stated in the contract of service.
