Bridging implementation gaps in Gig Workers Act

Correcting the flaws: Structural challenges must be resolved before the Act can be effectively enforced. — MUHAMAD SHAHRIL ROSLI/The Star

AS the Gig Workers Act 2025 (Act 872) officially comes into force today, My Mobility Vision Sdn Bhd (MMV) and a cross-sector coalition of industry partners, government agencies, academics, think tanks and gig worker associations have released a policy roadmap to bridge the implementation gaps that stand between a well-intentioned Act and one that is genuinely life-changing.

Titled “Operationalising ‘Fair Earnings’ under Act 872”, this roadmap follows a high-level roundtable held on March 9 that identified structural challenges to be resolved before the Act’s provisions can be effectively enforced.
