PETALING JAYA: Steven Sim’s exit from the Human Resources Ministry marks the end of a tenure that saw stronger recognition for gig and platform workers as Malaysia adapts to a changing labour landscape, say industry representatives.
Gabungan E-Hailing Malaysia chief activist Masrizal Mahidin said Sim’s time in office was significant in formally acknowledging gig workers as a distinct and growing segment of the workforce, particularly through the introduction and early development of the proposed Gig Workers Bill.
