Change in Names of
Fatal Accident Victims and Lack of Response From Authorities Undermines Rights
and Duties of Unions to workers.
When names of fatal accident victims
suddenly change, it arises many questions.
In the recent incident in early March,
at the Lestarry Heights Housing Development site in Mentakab, Temerloh
District, Pahang, 3 workers were affected, which resulted in 2 workers, one Md
Shoriful, 43, and Julhas Rahman, 27, being buried alive and killed.
The workers were working in a deep
trench working on sewage pipes, at this joint
DOSH recent response to our querries,
now strangely provides the name of the victims as being one Wajid Ali (BC0419608),
43 years, Bangladeshi, and Miah Rajib (BM0223274), 23 years, Bangladesh.
The earlier media reports, also did
quote the police, and it will be highly unlikely that the media and journalist
got the names of the victims wrong.
From the media reports, the fatal accident
happened on or about 5
DOSH report also tells us that the
DOSH said that they had issued about 7
Notices to the employer, but apparently none to the Main Contractor and/or
Developer/Owner of the construction project.
Being a MZEC group project, according
to their website, the entity that would have most likely made the needed
application and got the necessary construction approval would have been the
MZEC Group and/or one of its companies. Approvals for construction projects
would most reasonably take into consideration also environmental impact, public
health and most certainly occupational safety and health.
After approval, which may also come
with additional conditions, it not uncommon for the Developer/Owner and/or Main
Contractor, to outsource different works to many different contractors and/or
sub-contractors.
As an employer is liable for the
action/omissions of their employees and agents, so to must the owner/developer
of construction projects be personally liable for the actions/omissions of all
contractors and/or sub-contractors and their respective workers at the construction
site. Normally, it is the owner/developer who has main control of the work
site, and also all legal obligations that comes from the approval/permits to do
any construction project.
As such, the fact that action has only
been taken against some sub-contractor, but not even the Main Contractor or
owner/developer by DOSH thus far raises much questions.
Duty, Responsibility and Liability in
law must never be allowed to be outsourced to other contractors and/or
sub-contractors.
We are of the position that an
We hope the Malaysian government,
relevant authorities and Ministries, do the needful to ensure that a
We deplore any attempt to cover up the
truth, and/or protect certain perpetrators in a case where workers lost their
lives.

PENSIONS/GRATUITY - How much of the peoples' money is continued to be paid out to MP and Ministers, who have been rejected or voted out by the people? Probably it is millions (or maybe billions) of Ringgit every month/year?
Is it time to STOP this? Is it time to Review this? Sadly, many MPs will easily vote for increase of salary, allowances and other benefits that they will personally receive, including when after they lose their positions.
Our concern now is the PENSIONS and the Gratuity? We may also look at the other allowances and benefits that our elected representatives and members of the Cabinet receives today? When the Malaysian Minimum wage is just RM1,100 or RM1,200, and there are many today who are having problems with jobs and income, it is simply absurd that so much of the peoples' money goes to our elected and/or appointed representatives.
In Malaysia today, many of our elected representatives are not even full-time elected representatives. The continue earning income from their businesses, professions and/or other jobs - do they really deserve pensions or gratuities when most Malaysians(including workers) even today do not enjoy any PENSION - a very much needed right to help people survive when they can no longer worker, and in their old age. Pension rights to be available to every one, not just government employees as is the case in Malaysia today.
The law that determines salaries of MPs, Senators, PM and Members of the Parliament is the Members of Parliament (Remuneration) Act 1980. Section 2 of the First Schedule of the Act states, amongst others, - '(1) A person who ceases to be a Member may be granted a pension if he has completed 36 months of reckonable service.' Reckonable service, simply means how many months he/she has been an MP/Senator.
How much PENSION?
(2) The monthly pension payable under subparagraph (1) shall be calculated on the following formula:
1/144 x period of reckonable service x salary, subject to a maximum of three-fifths of salary:...
If the person has been an MP for 4 years - then this is 48 months of reckonable service
1/144 X 48 X Salary(RM16,000 now for an MP) = RM5,333
If the person has been an MP for 10 years, then reckonable service would be 120 months..
1/144 X 120 X (RM16,000) = RM13,333
However, there is a maximum limit of 3/5ths the salary, which would be for an MP - RM9,600. But so much more if that person had been a Prime Minister, Minister, Cabinet Member or Speaker
Note, even if one is an MP has only served for less than 36 months, it would be deemed that he/she will receive the minimum as if he/she had served for 36 months, which is RM4,000.
If he has been a Prime Minister, Minister, Speaker, Deputy Speaker, then the salary would be higher and the pension will higher.
Are the members of the Cabinet getting their salary PLUS the RM16,000 allowance for being an MP? Is this even justified, when really they should not be paid both...But then the law states,
(b)Where a Member of the Administration is a member of the House of
Representatives, he shall be entitled, in addition to the salary
specified in subsection (1), to the monthly allowance payable to him as a
member of the House of Representatives as specified in paragraph (b) of subsection (1) of section 3.(Section 6(2)(b))
Does that mean, the maximum monthly pension for a Prime Minister, also an MP, is about RM23,295?
So, how many ex-MPs, ex-Senators, ex-Ministers, Ex-Speakers are we, the people of Malaysia, are paying for pensions every month - How much of a drain in our national funds is that?
A former Prime Minister, who then continues as an MP - will still receive a PM's pension - even if he is PM for a few days?
Recent income and asset disclosures demonstrate that many of these 'peoples' representative' also have a lot of assets - in the millions of ringgit? Is it justified to pay them still pensions until they die.
WHEN WILL THEY START RECEIVING PENSIONS? 50 years - not after reaching normal retirement age of 60?
If they are still MPs, then they will only receive pensions when they stop being MPs - you cannot receive salary as an MP/Minister/Speaker/Senator and still receive pensions.
Pensions really should be payable after they reach RETIREMENT AGE - but for these former MPs/Senators, etc, it seems like they start getting pensions after reaching 50 years - This is not right - they should only be paid pensions, after they reach the ordinary retirement age of 60.
(1) A person who ceases to be a Member may be granted a pension if he has completed 36 months of reckonable service.
Provided
that where a person who becomes a Member for the first time on or after
1 July 1990 ceases to be a Member upon completing thirty six months of
reckonable service but has not attained the age of fifty years on the
date he ceases to be a Member, he may be granted a pension only upon his
thereafter attaining the age of fifty years. ...(First Schedule, Section 2(1))
So, all these former MPs, Senators, Ministers start getting pension once they reach 50 - Did the government fail to amend, entitlement of pension to after they attain the current retirement age that applies for everyone, which is 60, I believe?
MORE than pension, they also get gratuity - too much?
1/48 x salary x 12 x period of reckonable service
Even when a former MP/Minister/Speaker dies - the pension payment continues at the same amount to the spouse and children, if no spouse and children, it goes to the next of kin.
'...his dependants may be granted a derivative pension of the same amount as the pension which was paid or payable to him...'
For children, it goes on until they become 21 or get married, but for the spouse or some other next of kin, it seems to go on until they die.
Normal public servant pensions - when they die, the spouse gets it generally until she dies but at a much reduced rate. I do not think there is any provision for next of kin.
If the ex-MP, marries within 20 years of death, then the widow/widower receives the pension for another 20 years only after the death.
HOW MUCH OF PUBLIC MONEY(Wang Rakyat) is being spend this way?
Hence, when Prime Minister Muhyiddin has a very BIG Cabinet, all these Cabinet members receive not simply HIGHER salary(and allowances) but also become entitled to higher gratuity and pensions for themselves until they die, and their spouses, children and next of kin.
Maybe a similar scheme exists for the State Legislative Assembly - so, Muhyiddin, who was a previous Menteri Besar of Johor, and may be no more ADUN - may also now be receiving pensions, PLUS salary/allowances as PM ---Is this just?
There are so many Malaysians that are poor and struggling, but looking at this pension/gratuity payments, which may monthly cost millions of ringgit, if not billions, I say we need serious reforms - just too much are being paid to some of these people, who may have been rejected by the people through elections.
What do you say? This money could be better spend to help the poor live decent lives.
Besides salary and allowances for these many not full-time MPs/Senators, political appointments as Directors of government owned or GLCs may also be making them too rich? This Directorship income will be discussed later.
* My opinion only after looking at the law..better verify yourself.

A list of assets owned by 57 of the country’s top officials who have
declared the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) is now publicly
accessible on this portal as part of a move towards greater government transparency. However, this list does not include all 70 government officials.
Muhyiddin had on June 15 declared his monthly income to be RM93,841.65 and his total assets to be worth more than RM10 million.
10 other officials with assets exceeding RM10 million

However, they are not necessarily the ones with the highest monthly income that has been declared.
The MACC portal does not put the exact amount when it comes to the assets held by the members of the PN government.
Instead of listing the exact amount, MACC gave a range of values for
the assets declared by each of the 57 members of the PN administration.
The other brackets of asset values listed by the MACC and the government officials in them are as follows.
With assets worth RM8.5 million to RM10 million:

the administration and MPs from the ruling coalition, but did not
include information on the value of their declared assets. The previous
version of the portal had subsequently the same month included the exact
value of the total assets declared by members of the then Pakatan
Harapan administration and MPs from the ruling coalition.
The new version of the portal contains additional information such as the post of the individuals in the government.
Unlike the older version, the new version omits information on
whether the spouse and children of the government official in question
had also made declarations to the MACC.

Apakah sumber yang menjadikan gaji bulanan Perdana Menteri Muhyiddin Yassin menjadi RM93,841.65, manakala undang-undang, MEMBERS OF PARLIAMENT (REMUNERATION) ACT 1980] menyatakan bahawa gaji Perdana Menteri adalahRM93,841.65 sahaja. Ini berasaskan apa yang diistiharkan kepada MACC.
Derma politik orang ramai dan/atau penyokong - Berapa?
Derma politik daripada syarikat atau perniagaan - Berapa?
RASUAH - Berapa?
Kekayaan lain saperti tanah, rumah, syer, wang dalam bank, dll... ini tak begitu menjadi isu > TETAPI apa-apa perolehan semasa menjadi PM, Menteri, Ahli Kabinet adalah sangat relevan - kerana ianya mungkin 'rasuah' untuk melakukan sesuatu(atau tidak melakukan sesuatu).
Untuk membenteras RASUAH, Kleptokrasi atau salahguna kuasa - mungkin Malaysia juga memerlukan undang-undang yang menjadikan penerimaan wang, hadiah atau faedah daripada mana-mana pihak lain, semasa menjadi Perdana Menteri, Menteri atau Ahli Kabinet satu kesalahan, di mana juga mungkin menyebabkan kelucutan jawatan.
Thailand, negara jiran, pun ada undang-undang sedemikian. Seorang bekas Perdana Menteri kerana menerima bayaran daripada satu rancangan masak di TV apabila beliau menyertai program masak menjadi alasan mengapa beliau hilang kelayakan terus menjadi Perdana Menteri. Terima RM50 pun salah...jumlah tak penting.
Seorang Menteri lain kerana terima hadiah jam tangan pun sama - ia merupakan kesalahan.
Malaysia juga memerlukan undang-undang sedemikian untuk memastikan Perdana Menteri dan ahli Kabinet semua BERSIH. Menerima wang atau hadiah dari pihak lain semasa mereka memegang jawatan pentabiran kerajaan adalah satu kesalahan yang akan menyebabkan mereka hilang jawatan, dan juga posisi MP atau Senator.
Kini, DEKLARASI yang perlu Ahli Kabinet dan ahli Parlimen beri adalah tak memadai - Biar jelas dan ada butiran mencukupi mengenai pendapatan bulanan, serta sumber pendapatan.
KEKAYAAN LAIN tak begitu penting kecuali
(1) Syer atau kepentingan dalam mana-mana syarikat atau perniagaan. [MENGAPA - kita tak mahu kerajaan/PM/Menteri membuat apa-apa keputusan yang akan membantu perniagaan tersebut - saperti memberi projek, dll - kerana ia secara tidak langsung akan juga menjadi pemegang syer/kepentingan lain juga kaya);
(2) Tanah di mana (Mengapa? Kerana kerajaan dan Menteri mempunyai kuasa membuat keputusan mengenai pembangunan setempat, yang akan secara tak langsung menyebabkan nilai tanah ini naik - justeru memberikan keuntungan besar kepada pemilik tanah. Bila kerajaan membuat keputusan meminda pusat pentadbiran kerajaan ke Putrajaya - ramai yang 'tahu terdahulu' mungkin telah cepat-cepat pergi membeli tanah di situ, dan apabila pengumunan dibuat secara rasmi - mereka menang kerana nilai tanah meningkat. Perkara sama berlaku di Janda Baik, kerana dulu ada ura-ura kerajaan mungkin akan memajukan kawasan tersebut - akhirnya tak ada apa-apa yang berlaku dalam kes ini.]
Bagi orang biasa yang meneka, dan membeli tanah atau syer syarikat sedemikian bukan isu besar - tetapi bagi mereka saperti Perdana Menteri, Menteri atau ahli Kabinet yang mempunyai maklunat perlu dan kuasa membuat keputusan sedemikian, mereka atau ahli keluarga(atau rakan karib) tidak harus dibenarkan beruntung akibat keputusan kerajaan sedemikian.
SEMUA mahu kerajaan dan pemimpin negara BERSIH dan BERAMANAH - tujuan deklarasi pendapatan dan aset bertujuan untuk menghalang salah-laku sedemikian mengunakan maklumat atau kuasa dalam pentadbiran kerajaan.
Deklarasi Pendapatan dan Aset sekali saja tak cukup - ia perlu dibuat mungkin 3 bulan sekali, mungkin 6 bulan sekali - paling kurang sekali setahun, sama sebagai kehendak kini berkenaan deklarasi kepada pihak Lembaga Hasil Dalam Negara.
Ini penting supaya rakyat boleh memantau setiap masa - dan akan mempersoalkan apa-apa pendapatan yang tiba-tiba meningkat. Jika wang masuk dalam akaun peribadi sebagai DERMA pun mesti diistiharkan.
AKAUN BANK - sekiranya ada akaun bank di luar negara pun, di mana ini tempat ramai penjenayah menyimpan 'wang haram' kerana di luar bidangkuasa kerajaan Malaysia, dan setengah bank sedemikian juga tidak akan dedahkan butiran akaun kepada kerajaan atau mana-mana penyiasat jenayah.
Adakah PM, Menteri, Ahli Kabinet, MP, Senator atau ADUN ada memiliki akaun sedemikian di bank luar negara? Ini juga maklumat perlu yang perlu didedahkan.
Penyimpanan wang di bank sedemikian juga biasa tidak didedahkan atau diketahui oleh pihak Lembaga Hasil Dalam Negara(LHDN) - justeru cukai yang perlu dibayar untuk apa-apa pendapatan atau perolehan dapat dielakkan. Mangsa terus adalah RAKYAT MALAYSIA.
* Kita tahu semasa pemerintahan BN dan PH terdahulu, ahli parlimen parti kerajaan telah diberikan berjuta ringgit, kononnya untuk digunakan untuk membantu rakyat di kawasan Parlimen atau ADUN berkenaan > Mana akaun pembelanjaan tersebut? Kenapa BN, PH atau PN tidak mendedahkan? Adakah wang tersebut telah digunakan untuk rakyat dengan betul - adakah wang itu diambil oleh wakil rakyat berkenaan untuk memperkayakan diri atau kepentingan peribadi? Adakah wang itu digunakan untuk memperkayakan kroni atau parti? Semua ini rakyat perlu tahu dengan jelas, kerana ini DUIT RAKYAT?
Sekali buat DEKLARASI tak memadai? Membuat DEKLARASI tanpa butiran tak cukup.
Tujuan utama DEKLARASI sedemikian adalah untuk memberikan jaminan kepada rakyat bahawa PM, Ahli Kabinet atau MP tidak mengunakan kedudukan, kuasa atau posisi untuk memperkayakan diri, keluarga, kawan secara salah - untuk memastikan tak ada RASUAH, dsb.
Selepas buat DEKLARASI, kesalahan dilakukan kini tidak akan diketahui umum - Deklarasi harus dilakukan setahun sekali, lebih baik setiap 3 atau 6 bulan.
