Hi everyone,

Just a short note to let everyone know that we are extending our Human Rights focus by another week. This is a request which some of you have made to us and the editors have unanimously agreed!

Our intended “Wages & Inflation” week will now be postponed to the week after. Our apologies to those who were looking forward to that.

In the new week, we will be highlighting some of the more interesting and insightful comments posted by you guys and gals here on TOC, besides more articles on human rights. So, look out for that.

If you wish to contribute an article on human rights (or on Wages & Inflation) to be published here, please do email us at: [email protected].

Remember: TOC is all about you and your views. So, keep your comments coming..

Thanks, everyone… for the spirited discussions and debates.

Regards,

Andrew Loh

Deputy Editor

“疫情改变了人们的生活” 哈莉玛促各方重检营业策略

总统哈莉玛表示,疫情改变了人们的生活,无论是工作、人力或工作常域也会出现巨大的改变,因此呼吁公司与员工必须趁现在重新思考营业策略与提升工作技能。 总统哈莉玛在劳动节前夕,于脸书发文,表示今年的劳动节与往年截然不同,大家都在艰难时刻度过,不仅仅是员工为工作和收入变得忧心,企业也忧心于受影响的业务。 尽管已提供一些援助配套为企业纾困,但她表示,许多员工如今只能减少收入,因为没有支付加班费,甚至自雇人士面临手停口停的现况,因此呼吁工会在此艰难时刻,能够肩负起责任以支持受影响的员工与公司。 此外,哈莉玛也认为,此次疫情反而让人们见识到最好的前线人员,各行各业中仍有不少必要工作者在默默付出,确保我国的运作正常,所以请勿将他们的贡献视为理所当然。 “以往的日子也终将在疫情过后,一去不复返,我们会开始意识到无论是工作、人力或是工作场域都会出现巨大改变,因此公司和员工应该利用这段时间,重新思考和规划,重新制定营业方针和提升工作能力,为未来的生活做好准备。” 哈丽玛说,工会能够了解员工的需求和顾虑,所以他们可以协助公司和员工共同做好准备,也希望工会能够与其他三方合作伙伴积极合作,共同度过未来的艰难。 最后,哈莉玛也在帖文中感谢所有员工的付出和贡献,并祝愿大家劳动节快乐。
