Online Discussion Session with the Department of Manpower

On 25 January 2021, MACC represented by the Honorary Treasurer, Datuk Hadzir Shafii participated in an online meeting with the Department of Labor (JTK) and several government departments/agencies, related to compliance with Act 446. Also participating in the meeting were the Association of Restaurant Operators.

The objective of JTK is,

Obliging all employers to apply for Acknowledgment of Employee Accommodation online
Mandatory swab test
Comply with and implement act 446 without exception.
Dato’ Bendahari has voiced MACC’s views on the matter, including,

  1. The main thing that must be resolved first is the absence of a specific Ministry for the sheltered cleaning sector. The chairman of the meeting took note and submitted the issue to the Main Committee to take action and KPDNHEP may act.
  2. PATI calibration program where the washing industry is not included in the list – The Chairman informed and requested a letter be sent to KSM and KDN.
  3. MACC is ready to share its opinion and requests to be invited to the webinar session to be held by JTK.
  4. Swab test – As a result of the relatively limited Immigration process, many foreign workers do not have a current work pass sticker even though the levy payment has been made and this interferes with related matters including the swab test which needs to register workers into SOCSO. – The chairman is aware and will discuss this issue with the parent committee.

Sesi Perbincangan Online Bersama Jabataan Tenaga Kerja

Pada 25 Januari 2021, MACC yang diwakili oleh Bendahari Kehormat, Datuk Hadzir Shafii telah menyertai mesyuarat atas talian online bersama Jabatan Tenaga Kerja (JTK)  dan beberapa Jabatan/Agensi kerajaan,  yang berkaitan pematuhan kepada Akta 446. Turut serta di dalam mesyuarat tersebut antaranya ialah Persatuan Pengusaha Restoran.

Objektif JTK ialah,

  1. Mewajibkan semua pengusaha memohon Pengakuan Penginapan Pekerja secara online
  2. Mewajibkan swab test
  3. Mematuhi dan melaksanakan akta 446 tanpa terkecuali.

Dato’ Bendahari  telah menyuarakan pandangan MACC berkaitan perkara tersebut antaranya,

  1. Perkara pokok yang mesti diselesaikan dahulu ialah ketiadaan Kementerian khusus untuk sektor pembersihan bernaung. Pengerusi mesyuarat mengambil maklum dan menyerahkan isu tersebut kepada Jawatankuasa Induk untuk mengambil tindakan dan kemungkinan KPDNHEP akan bertindak.
  2. Program kalibrasi PATI yg mana industri pencucian tidak termasuk didalam senarai – Pengerusi maklum dan meminta surat dihantar kepada KSM dan KDN.
  3. MACC bersedia untuk berkongsi pendapat dan mohon supaya dijemput ke sesi webinar  akan diadakan oleh JTK.
  4. Swab test – Akibat dari proses Imigresen yang agak terhad, ramai pekerja asing tidak mempunyai pelekat pas kerja semasa walaupun bayaran levi telah dibuat dan ini mengganggu urusan yang berkaitan termasuk swab test yang mana perlu mendaftarkan pekerja ke dalam Perkeso. – Pengerusi maklum dan akan membincangkan isu ini dengan jawatankuasa induk.
