Perak offers RM5,000 aid for trade union formation to empower workers
IPOH: The Perak government aims to encourage about 10 per cent of public and private sector workers to form trade unions in the state within the next three years as part of efforts to empower workers' rights and safeguard their welfare. State Human Resources, Health, Indian Community Affairs and National Integration Committee chairman A. Sivanesan said Perak is the first state to provide a special allocation of RM5,000 to help workers set up their unions. 'In Perak, out of 1.25 million workers, only a small number have joined unions. The membership rate in this state is lower than the national average of eight per cent. 'Unions are established in workplaces to ensure industrial harmony. If there is a union, workers can negotiate for salary adjustments every two years, as well as for health benefits and leave-related matters,' he told a press conference here today. He said union formation should now be easier following the 2023 amendments to the Trade Unions Act 1959, but many employers remain fearful and are reluctant to allow their workers to form unions. To facilitate union formation, Sivanesan said the state Trade Union Affairs Department has been instructed to represent the state government and assist the workers. 'When a pro-tem committee is formed but has yet to be registered with the Trade Union Affairs Department, it requires funding to carry out its activities, as it is not permitted to collect money. That's why the Perak state government will provide the funds. 'The funds will be used to help workers establish unions. I hope this will benefit at least 1.1 million workers who are currently not union members or have no union at their workplaces,' he said. He said that union formation is crucial as Perak is expected to have around 30,000 new workers in the future due to upcoming industrial projects in Proton City, Lumut Maritime Industrial City (LUMIC), Bagan Datuk, Chemor, and Kinta Industrial Park. - Bernama

Ron95 price lowered to RM1.99 per litre after targeted subsidy, people will not be affected: PM
Published on: Wednesday, July 23, 2025 Published on: Wed, Jul 23, 2025 By: Bernama Text Size: For illustrative purposes only. KUALA LUMPUR: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim today announced that the price of Ron95 petrol will drop following the planned targeting of fuel subsidies, thus giving assurances that the rakyat will not be affected. 'When the Ron95 targeted subsidy is implemented, Malaysians will enjoy a lower Ron95 price of RM1.99 per litre. 'This will certainly benefit around 18 million car drivers and motorcyclists including youths as young as 16 years old and gig workers,' he said in a special message themed Penghargaan Untuk Rakyat Malaysia today Anwar, who is also the Finance Minister, said the government remained committed to the Ron95 petrol targeted subsidy plan with details to be announced by the end of September 2025. He said the government was committed to targeting the country's subsidy expenditure with the rakyat continuing to enjoy the subsidy while addressing leakage to those who do not qualify. Taking the example of the restructuring of electricity tariffs which has been in effect since July 2025, Anwar said there are irresponsible parties claiming that the people's electricity bills have increased following the restructuring. In fact, 85 per cent of domestic consumers enjoyed a reduction of up to 14 per cent in electricity bills in July 2025 for the same usage compared to the first half of 2025. 'This targeted approach is in line with the government's efforts to optimise national resources for the benefit of the people, and reduce wastage on subsidies,' he said. The Prime Minister said that for 2023 and 2024, the Ron95 subsidy alone cost almost RM20 billion per year. Although global oil prices had declined this year, the price of Ron95 petrol without subsidy was still around RM2.50 per litre. * Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel and Telegram for breaking news alerts and key updates! * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?
