Human Resources Minister M Kula Segaran says the ministry’s recommendations on paternity leave will be submitted to the Cabinet by next month.
He said this was the feedback received when the ministry held discussions with the Malaysian Employers Federation as part of consultations with stakeholders on the proposal to implement a seven-day paternity leave for workers whose wives have just delivered. “We have received many complaints and objections because some want paternity leave while other parties do not agree.“Furthermore, there are certain procedures to follow in the registration of births and all this takes time,” he told reporters after speaking at the Startup Festival 2019 in conjunction with the Perak International Expo 2019 here today.
