National Press Club president Ahirudin Attan said the discussion would settle the need for coverage of stringers in the event of occupational accident or injury. He also suggested the ministry hold talks with the National Union of Journalists Malaysia , representatives from media houses, the Malaysian Employers Federation, and the Human Resources Ministry to standardise the job scope and employment rates for stringers.
“The effort could lighten stringers’ burdens, especially in the face of unforeseen situations such as accident or injury while on duty,” he said.
