Malaysia May “Open” Foreign Worker Market In A Week, Said Expat Minister

“The Malaysian market may be open within seven days as our Bangladesh mission has given such indication,” Expatriates’ Welfare and Overseas Employment (EWOE) minister Nurul Islam said.

He was speaking to reporters after the launch of Probash Bandhu call centre at the Probashi Kallayan Bhaban in the city.

He also said they will fix migration cost for Malaysia-bound workers immediately after opening of the market.

Replying to a query, the minister said that workers will be selected from the existing database. “We have already enlisted a large number of workers. Workers will be sent from the existing database.”

Mr Islam said foreign workers will be sent through private recruitment companies.

When contacted, Bangladesh Association of International Recruiting Agencies (BAIRA) secretary general Ruhul Amin said that the Southeast Asian country needs a significant number of foreign workers to run their trade and services sectors.

“We hope nearly 250,000 workers will get employment opportunities every year in the Malaysian market”.

When asked, the BAIRA leader said they would follow what were stipulated in the deal which was signed between Dhaka and Kuala Lumpur in fixing migration cost.

He said they will try to keep the migration cost for Malaysia-bound workers at a ‘rational’ level.

Abdur Rouf, joint secretary of the ministry of EWOE, told the FE the ministry would set up a cell in Malaysia to oversee whether private agencies formed syndicates, charged extra migration costs and exploited workers.

The cell will monitor the overall migration process to the Malaysian market. Representatives from the Bangladesh mission in Malaysia, expatriate welfare ministry and manpower recruiters’ association will work in the cell, he said.

“So, fraudulent manpower agencies will not be able to cheat the workers,” he said.

He said Malaysia will recruit workers in five sectors, including service, construction, manufacturing, plantation and farming.

Nearly 600,000 Bangladeshi workers have been staying in Malaysia, of which 70 per cent are working in the construction sector, while 30 per cent in plantation, according to sector insiders.

Meanwhile, the expatriate welfare minister launched call centre named ‘Probash Bandhu’ for expatriate workers in Saudi Arabia, Malaysia and Jordan.

Bangladeshi workers will get swift services from the centre. The centre will receive call from workers from 9.00 am to 6.00 pm.

The expatriate workers will be able to discuss on their passport-related problems, legal issues, sending back dead bodies, sending back sick and wounded workers and financial support, compensations, stipend etc through the call centre.

The workers can also lodge complaints if they don’t get due services from the government.

The complaints will be forwarded to the departments concerned for due action. The ministry will introduce the same facilities for other destination countries gradually.

吊鉤坠马路夺命不排除人为错误

事故中最关键的51岁印尼籍操作员已然逃逸,因此当局必须彻查塔吊的安全设置与限制开关,才能判断是否存在人为破坏或疏忽。莫达慕斯理也表示,基於人力资源不足,在只有12名工地监督员的情况下,当局根本无法彻底监督首都超过600项建筑工程,只能在有限范围內做到最好,確保工地內的所有中兴机械符合標准。

目前为止,我们並不排除存在人为因素,以致发生吊鉤坠落砸车导致女司机死亡的惨剧。目前最关键问题是:何以吊鉤不是坠落在工地范围內,而是车水马龙的路面。」

负责调查「塔吊吊鉤坠落砸死女司机」事件的马来西亚职业安全与健康局(DOSH),该局全国总监拿督莫达慕斯理今日告诉本报,当局已证实塔吊上的钢缆断裂,以致重达500公斤的吊鉤自20层楼高度高速坠下,导致车內的24岁华裔女司机陈群欣当场死亡。

他说,隨著当局已初步掌握吊鉤坠落原因,接下来將深入调查钢缆断裂以及吊鉤坠落非工地范围的真相。

「我们接下来將调查:塔吊操作员是否具备安全操作证书?操作员是否有遵循操作手册?塔吊是否有按照標准作业程序进行检测与保养?以及塔吊的限制开关(Limit Switch)是否遭人修改?」

莫达慕斯理指出,根据安全设置条例,所有塔吊的吊臂都不能超出工地范围,一旦超出范围將会自动断电,因此当局將调查该限制开关是否曾遭人蓄意修改或已损坏。

他说,事故中最关键的51岁印尼籍操作员已然逃逸,因此当局必须彻查塔吊的安全设置与限制开关,才能判断是否存在人为破坏或疏忽。

莫达慕斯理也表示,基於人力资源不足,在只有12名工地监督员的情况下,当局根本无法彻底监督首都超过600项建筑工程,只能在有限范围內做到最好,確保工地內的所有中兴机械符合標准。

另一方面,全国职业安全与卫生机构主席丹斯里李霖泰今日严厉谴责不负责任的吊机承包商,在建筑工地使用吊机时没有做足安全设备导致发生意外造成一名无辜的女司机死亡。

李氏促请政府应特別关注,不只是调查意外的结果,还必须採取更加严厉的行动对付不负责任的承包商,强调吊机承包商没有真正关注工作的安全,疏忽及没有注意所有的器材是否能够安全的使用,將会起公眾人士不安。

而十五碑警区主任再诺助理总监则表示,警方目前仍在等待马来西亚职业安全与健康局的调查报告,確认责任归属与真相后才能决定下一步行动。

他表示,警方將在下週发佈51岁印尼籍吊机操作员的照片,希望公眾提供情报。

English news: Be More Stringent On Safety Precautions At Construction Projects, Urges Lam Thye

Be More Stringent On Safety Precautions At Construction Projects, Urges Lam Thye

All construction company crane operators in Malaysia must be certified competent by the Department of Occupational Safety and Health (DOSH), said Tan Sri Lee Lam Thye (pic). The National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health chairman said those companies operating cranes must also be registered with DOSH.

Tan_Sri_Lee_Lam_Thye_dosh_malaysiaCommenting on Thursday’s incident where a crane hook fell at a construction site and crushed a woman to death in her car, Lee said it was “totally unacceptable”.

“There have been many such accidents in the past. The authorities must be very stringent in monitoring and enforcing laws and regulations under the Malaysia Factories and Machinery Act,” he said.

Fomca deputy president Mohd Yusof Abdul Rahman said construction companies should take precautionary measures, such as placing safety nets.

“Sometimes we can see big, heavy construction concrete blocks hanging over public areas. This can cause anxiety among pedestrians and motorists passing the area,” he said.

He added that if areas near construction sites need to be closed off to traffic, it should be done to prevent an accident from happening.

Executive Joice Chin Khoon Sing, 24, was killed while on her way to a family dinner when the hook fell onto her car along Jalan Raja Chulan in Kuala Lumpur.

In January, a construction foreign worker was killed when a crane collapsed at a site on Jalan Damansara.

A month later, another construction foreign worker was killed by falling debris while installing a ceiling partition at a site in Kota Damansara.

Penang Government Offers Help To Family Of Crane Crash Victim

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

The state government is willing to lend a helping hand to the family of crane crash victim, Chin Khoon Sing if they wish to seek legal redress.

Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng said the construction company concerned was negligent and irresponsible in handling the case.

“They also showed no regret in the incident and the way they approached the family to apologise. The company should be sued for negligence,” he said.

Earlier today, Lim paid a visit to the family in their home at the Gat Lebuh Noordin flats here.

Lim said although the family had moved to Kuala Lumpur a year ago, they are still from Penang and the state government is willing to offer assistance.

He said the least the state could do, is help the family to find a good lawyer.

On Aug 25, Chin was killed after the hoist block of a crane at a construction site gave way and crushed her car at Jalan Raja Chulan near Pavilion Mall.

She was on her way to have dinner with her family when tragedy struck and was just a week short of turning 24 when the fatal accident claimed her life.

Guide Book On Wages Expected To Be Out Soon

The ‘Wages Guide Book’, which can serve as a reference source for job-seekers, workers and employers, should be made available to the public soon. Human Resources Minister Datuk Seri Richard Riot said his ministry was now in the final stage of the publication process, adding 160 professions would be featured as the foundation for this guide book. There would be more professions to be added in future publications, he hinted.

Malaysia_Human_Resource_Minister_Richard_Riot“The objective of preparing this ‘Wages Guide Book’ is to put value to the skills of the job-seekers or workers, to act as a guide in determining initial basic salary in accordance with the person’s position and skills, and also as a benchmark for collective agreements and service contract negotiations,” Riot, who is also Serian MP, said in his remarks at the 12th convocation for training institutes in Sarawak Zone under the Labour Department at Borneo Convention Centre Kuching (BCCK) yesterday.

The ceremony marked the graduation of 345 trainees – 66 from diploma course and 279 from certificate courses – who completed their programmes at industrial training institutes (ILPs) in Kota Samarahan and Miri, as well as the Advanced Technology Training Centre (ADTEC) in Bintulu.

For the record, these training institutes under Labour Department have produced 8,178 skills-trained individuals in Sarawak since 2002.

Riot said these youths had made the right choice in pursuing skills training, and he further encouraged the certificate holders to upgrade to diploma level and then pursue degree programmes.

“Currently, the skilled workforce comprises just 27.1 per cent of the country’s total workforce. This is not enough for the country to achieve its highly developed nation status, which needs 40 per cent of its workforce to consist of skilled manpower with at least diploma-level qualification.

“Therefore, the steps needed to be taken to increase skilled manpower include encouraging youths to enrol at the 32 ILPs nationwide, including the eight ADTECs which offer diploma courses. The government has also approved for the setup of another ILP in Serian parliamentary constituency.

“We hope that these initiatives can increase the percentage of skilled manpower to (comprise) at least 35 per cent of the nation’s total workforce by 2020,” he said.

Riot also pointed out that the need for more skilled manpower had been emphasised under the 11th Malaysian Plan (11MP), where 60 per cent of the 1.5 million new jobs to be created under 11MP would require persons with technical, vocational education and training (TVET).

He said even in Sarawak, the industries in Sarawak Corridor of Renewable Energy (SCORE) should be creating 1.6 million new jobs by 2020.

He also assured Sarawakians that the government’s policy of prioritising 75 per cent of the jobs for the locals would remain as it is, although the country now has an estimated 3.6 million foreign workers – including 1.6 million who are legally documented.

Yesterday’s ceremony was also attended by Human Resources Ministry secretary-general Datuk Seri Adenan Ab Rahman, Labour Department director-general Datuk Chin Phaik Yoong, and Labour Department Learning Institutes (Eastern Region) chairman Mat Setia Mohd Raji.

Malaysia SMEs Urge To Reduce Dependents On Foreign Workers

By reducing wet-trades through IBS, there will be less dependency on foreign workers and reduced fund outflows to their home countries as well as fewer inherent social problems involving these foreign workers.

mohammad_hardeeCONTRACTORS for developers using the efficient and environmentally friendly Industrialised Building System (IBS) can apply for the IBS Promotion Fund (IBS fund), which was mooted under the 2016 National Budget with an allocation of RM500mil.

IBS is a construction process that uses techniques, products and building systems that involve prefabricated components and on-site installation.

SME Bank acting chief operating officer (banking) Mohammad Hardee Ibrahim said the construction industry played a crucial role in the Government’s efforts to stimulate domestic economic activities.

“Being a global player in construction requires serious efforts towards adopting new systems and technologies with other developed and developing nations, which looks at reduced construction time, cleaner and neater environment for better site management and controlled quality to lower total construction costs,” he said.

By reducing wet-trades through IBS, there will be less dependency on foreign workers and reduced fund outflows to their home countries as well as fewer inherent social problems involving these foreign workers.

The IBS fund is to promote the purchase of fixed asset, renovation of plant or factory and working capital requirement for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) which use the IBS method, including IBS components manufacturers.

One of the criterion includes having IBS certification from the Construction Industry Development Board (CIDB).

“CIDB will identify whether the project is IBS certified, and the respective projects must achieve a 70% rating or more,” he said.

He added that application can be submitted to any of the 38 SME Bank branches, or direct to the Business Banking Department in Kuala Lumpur with a 30-day turnaround time upon complete submission of documents.

With a minimum financing of RM500,000 to a maximum RM10mil per applicant, this will help small contractors who lack the financial back-up and maybe even allow them to set up their own manufacturing plants, including purchase machinery and pay suppliers for the purchase of IBS products.

“There are 8,201 registered IBS contractors and manufacturers in Malaysia, and we expect the fund to benefit about 125 SME entrepreneurs,” he said, adding that the interest rate of the fund is 4.0% per annum with maximum of five years tenure.

Working In Project Sites Without Due Regard To Safety

The construction and manufacturing industries accounted for 37% and 22% respectively of all fatal injuries investigated by the Department of Occupational Safety and Health (DOSH), the report said. This high number of occupational accidents is due to lack of safety culture and non-compliance with the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) 1994.

A REPORT in a local health and environment journal shows that the number of fatal occupational accidents in Malaysia has remained the same since 2009 despite the country aiming to reduce it by 20% by 2015.

The construction and manufacturing industries accounted for 37% and 22% respectively of all fatal injuries investigated by the Department of Occupational Safety and Health (DOSH), the report said. This high number of occupational accidents is due to lack of safety culture and non-compliance with the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) 1994.

It has also been reported that a total of RM7.01mil has been paid by the Manpower Department to foreign workers who involved in accidents at the workplace in 2014. I am not surprised.

Just behind my office, there are two high-rise buildings being constructed. Safety rules are not followed at all. Most of the time, the workers do not put on their safety helmets or vests. Most of them don’t even wear safety boots. The safety net which is supposed to catch falling objects has large holes in it while the fence to prevent unauthorised persons from entering the site has collapsed in many places.

On paper, every worker has to attend a safety briefing before they can start working. But who monitors them at the work site? There is no point in DOSH taking action and shutting down a work site only after an accident has occurred. Prevention is better than cure.

MTUC: Putrajaya Must Have Clear Policy On Foreign Workers In Malaysia

The union has received information that foreign workers continue to arrive in the country in alarming numbers.

Gopal-Kishnam

The absence of a clear policy on foreign workers is not good for Malaysia’s image and reputation both in the domestic and international arena, MTUC Secretary-General N Gopal Kishnam has cautioned in a statement. “The government must have a clear policy to avoid confusion among all parties involved.”

It should at the same time help reduce the number of foreign workers in the country, he added.

He disclosed that MTUC had received information that foreign workers continue to arrive in the country in alarming numbers. “MTUC hopes the Home Ministry could clarify this matter. It must ensure no discrimination on the matter.”

The government, especially the Home Ministry must have a clear policy on the matter, he stressed. “MTUC is willing to share expertise and cooperation with the government, and all relevant ministries.”

He was commenting on a report in The Star on August 8 where the Malaysian Employers Federation (MEF) complained that it was confused by the current government policy on foreign workers.

The Union said that it agreed with the MEF and reiterated it was time for the government to make clear its stand on hiring new foreign workers. “As stated by the MEF, it’s a matter of national interest. An official announcement must be made as soon as possible so that everyone is clear,” said Kishnam.

The MTUC chief went on to suggest the government meet with all stakeholders, especially MEF and MTUC, to explain its current policy on foreign workers. “A single clear policy on employment of foreign workers was vital for the industry and the country in the long run.”

The MTUC had earlier warned on extreme dependence on foreign workers and called for the country to move forward from the current situation. It feels that industry and employers should work together with the government to reduce dependence on foreign workers.
