Sarawak Aims Higher Despite Rise In Industrial Harmony Score
KUCHING, July 30 (Bernama) -- Sarawak's Industrial Harmony Index (HI) score rose to 81.5 per cent in 2023, up from 79.3 per cent the year before. However, there is still room for improvement to match or surpass the national average.
Deputy Minister in the Sarawak Premier's Department (Labour, Immigration and Project Monitoring) Datuk Gerawat Gala said the increase reflects positive employer-employee relations but stressed the need for continued progress.
'The score shows that Sarawak's industrial landscape is generally harmonious, but we are aiming to reach or exceed the national average of 83 per cent,' he told reporters after officiating the 2025 Sarawak Industrial Harmony Programme, themed 'Sustainable Industrial Harmony Through Legal Empowerment', here today.
