00:00 This is a question about Kedah Agro. I have received a report from the Malaysian Employment Agency
00:08 on this issue. The background of the case is as follows.
00:13 Kedah Agro was found to not pay the salary of the workers since last September.
00:20 The Malaysian Employment Agency has given them a notice to pay the salary.
00:28 This is a violation of the 19th section of the employment act.
00:33 The basic principle is that the workers are entitled to pay the salary.
00:37 We do not compromise on this.
00:39 The Malaysian Employment Agency has taken action to give a notice to the employers to pay the salary.
00:47 They have also promised to seek help from the government.
00:55 I hope this can be resolved as soon as possible.
00:59 There are about 24 workers in the company who have not been paid since last September.
01:06 When was the notice issued?
01:08 The notice was issued in January this year.
01:13 Did the government give the employers time to resolve this issue?
01:19 They have promised to seek help from the government.
01:26 They will hold a meeting with the Prime Minister today.
01:30 I hope that after the meeting, we will make the next decision.
01:36 I hope the government will take this matter seriously.
01:40 There are 24 employees in the company who have not been paid.
01:44 We will resolve this issue peacefully.
01:47 The most important thing is that the workers' salaries must be paid.
01:51 Thank you.
