PETALING JAYA: There has been an increase in reports on workplace discrimination incidents against people living with HIV over the past five years, with the first half of this year recording 66 cases – more than double previous yearly totals.
This was followed by cases of revocations of job offers during pre-employment with 31 reports, forced resignation and dismissal from position . “The remaining cases are being managed by our partner organisations,” it said in a statement to The Star. “MAC also offers ongoing mental health support to clients throughout the advocacy process and assists them in connecting with their social networks, including family, friends and peer support groups,” it said.The council said that there was no specific law that protected PLHIV in the workplace in Malaysia.
While there was no mandatory HIV/AIDS policy at the workplace, companies were encouraged to adhere to the Code of Practice, with currently only 42 companies in Malaysia adopting it, MAC said. According to subsection of the Act, an employer found guilty of discrimination can be fined up to RM50,000.
