KESUMA Launches Industrial Court Awards Compilation
In a statement today, Human Resources Minister Steven Sim Chee Keong said the 524-page book, launched yesterday during the 2025 Industrial Relations Lecture Series, is the first-ever publication of its kind by the MPM.
He said the publication marks a historic first for the Industrial Court, aimed at providing a comprehensive reference for legal practitioners, employers, workers and stakeholders involved in industrial dispute resolution.
'This book not only compiles key decisions of the MPM, but also offers practical guidance on major labour issues such as employment misconduct, work performance, workforce reduction, and the implications of non-compliance with awards,' he said.
Sim said the initiative is seen as a strategic step to enhance transparency, consistency and predictability in the MPM's decisions, thereby supporting policy development in employment based on real-world legal precedents and data.
He said 100 copies will be printed in the first phase and distributed to all Court Chairpmen, institutions of higher learning, industry players and key stakeholders, including relevant government agencies.
'A digital version of the book will also be made available to ensure wider accessibility,' he said.
On the 2025 Industrial Relations Lecture Series, Sim said the inaugural programme organised by MPM served as a platform to gather key stakeholders within the industrial relations ecosystem.
The one-day event was attended by MPM officers, representatives of government agencies, lawyers, employers, trade unions and law students.

Nurul Izzah Calls On Bangladesh Interim Government Chief
WORLD By Shakir Husain NEW DELHI, July 27 (Bernama) -- Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) deputy president Nurul Izzah Anwar called on Bangladesh interim leader Muhammad Yunus in Dhaka on Sunday. Yunus, during the meeting, sought Malaysia's support for Bangladesh to join the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). "We want to become a part of ASEAN, and we will need your support," he told Nurul Izzah, according to a Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha report. Bangladesh applied to become an ASEAN sectoral dialogue partner in 2020. Yunus also invited Malaysian companies to invest in Bangladesh's growing economy. "Asia is ageing rapidly, but Bangladesh has a lot of young people. Half of our population is under the age of 27. Set up your industries here and export from Bangladesh. It will help both our economies," he said. The interim government's chief advisor informed the PKR deputy chief about Bangladesh's political reforms following last year's uprising, which ended Sheikh Hasina's nearly 16-year rule. Nurul Izzah spoke at Dhaka University on Sunday at a conference marking the first anniversary of the July Revolution.

Tabung Pahlawan Campaign Has Raises RM2.18 Mln
ALOR GAJAH, July 27 (Bernama) -- The 2025 Tabung Pahlawan Campaign, launched in conjunction with Warriors' Day, has raised RM2.186 million as of July 24, reflecting the people's continued support towards the welfare of Malaysian Armed Forces (MAF) veterans. Deputy Defence Minister Adly Zahari said to widen outreach and simplify contributions, the ministry had also introduced a QR code donation campaign as an alternative, targeting a minimum of RM1 from every Malaysian. 'Malaysia has more than 34 million people, imagine if every person contributes at least RM1, the impact would be tremendous. 'That's why we've launched the QR code campaign, which is now widely circulated via social media and official government channels. We hope this will encourage more people to contribute,' he told Bernama after attending a high tea event with Melaka MAF veterans, in conjunction with the 2025 Warriors' Day celebration at Dataran Gangsa, here today. Also present were Veterans' Affairs Department (JHEV) director-general Maj Gen Datuk Semaon Marjuki and JHEV Melaka and Negeri Sembilan director, Major Muhammad Zarifi Tumin. Earlier at the event, 120 MAF veterans from Melaka, representing 22 associations, were celebrated. They were presented with contributions, including Cost of Living Aid, Higher Education Aid, Home Repair Assistance, and 'Bakul Rahmah' food baskets. At the same time, Adly said 151,000 MAF veterans had registered and were now using the Veteran Digital Card, which was introduced in September last year. 'With the digital card, veterans no longer need to carry a physical card as all their information is now accessible on their smartphones. So for those who haven't made the switch, we strongly encourage them to do so and to update their information. 'Although the physical card is still in use, the digital version offers easier access for members, especially to information on health, welfare, and other services,' he said.
