Sabah MTUC urges immediate re-election and council meeting to restore leadership
KOTA KINABALU (June 7): The Malaysian Trades Union Congress (MTUC) Sabah has called for an expedited re-election process to appoint new officers and restore effective leadership within the organization. Its chairman, Mohd Airy Arin, emphasized the urgent need for a general council meeting to ratify the election process, enabling MTUC to resume its vital role in representing Malaysian workers. MTUC is currently overseen by a special joint committee (JBK), appointed by the High Court on February 21, with a specific mandate to conduct leadership re-elections within 90 days — originally ending on May 22 and later extended until August. Mohd Airy noted that the JBK had issued a statement protesting the government's refusal to recognize MTUC delegates for participation in the International Labour Organization Conference (ILC) in Geneva, Switzerland. He recalled that the High Court's consent order on February 21 required the JBK to hold a Special Delegates Conference (SDC) to elect new leadership. However, the JBK has so far failed to meet this requirement. 'To date, there are still no officers capable of fulfilling the duties of MTUC,' he said in a statement. Highlighting the significance of the ILC as a tripartite platform involving governments, employers and workers, Mohd Airy stressed that the JBK lacks the mandate to nominate representatives on behalf of MTUC. 'Therefore, MTUC Sabah is urging the JBK to concentrate solely on conducting the re-election process and to convene a general council meeting immediately to formalize and ratify the process,' he added.
