Govt must enact legislation to mandate social security protection coverage for gig workers

I just attended a press conference held by MCA NGO civil society movement coordination bureau chairman Ng Kian Nam at Menara Perkeso, Jalan Ampang.

Ng, who is also the spokesperson for the Campaign to Defend the Rights of E-Hailing Drivers in Malaysia, attended a mediation meeting called by the Industrial Relations Department between Grab and an e-hailing driver on the recognition of e-hailing drivers as "employees" and wrongful dismissal.
