How will Malaysians mark Labour Day once again?
| Will we be resolute enough to go beyond the preachings and the demands or is it going to be a continuation of our known hallmark of 'all form without substance'?
Despite giving Malaysians government employment - and largely benefited by the majority race in the country to the extent that we have the world's highest civil servants is to citizens' ratio - productivity is a huge concern. The downside, however, is the acute and inherent job insecurity that lurks in workers leading to various stress-related medical and health conditions.
It is time for Malaysians - workers, employers, policy-makers - to be honest, and resolved all these problems, come May 1. Will we able to enforce laws that bite without the much-touted claims of 'we must be sensitive to race sensitivities and rights of segments of citizens'?
