KOTA KINABALU: The Sabah Law Society (SLS) has welcomed the passing of the Gig Workers Bill 2025, describing it as a landmark step in providing long-overdue legal protection to platform-based and freelance workers.
SLS president Datuk Mohamed Nazim Maduarin said the Bill filled a longstanding gap in Malaysia’s employment laws by recognising gig workers as a distinct category, moving beyond the traditional classification of "employees" or "independent contractors".
