'Nurses are not robots': Group against plan for 45-hour workweek


PETALING JAYA: The Malaysian Male Nurses Association (MMN) wants the Health Ministry to scrap plans for a 45-hour workweek for nurses, warning that it could push healthcare workers to their limits.

It said the proposed increase, expected to take effect on June 1, would worsen physical, mental and emotional strain on nurses already pressured by demanding work conditions.
