    14/03/2004 Permulaan baik buat BN (HL) KUALA LUMPUR: Barisan Nasional (BN) mendahului 21 kerusi dalam pilihan raya umum ke-11 apabila menang tanpa bertanding bagi 14 kerusi Parlimen dan tujuh Dewan Undangan Negeri (DUN) pada hari penamaan calon semalam.

Antara calon BN yang menang semalam ialah Ketua Menteri Sarawak, Tan Sri Abdul Taib Mahmud, yang kini memasuki penggal kesembilannya, bagi kerusi Parlimen Kota Samarahan dan Ketua Puteri Umno, Datuk Azalina Othman Said yang baru pertama kali menjadi calon, di Pengerang, Johor. Pengerusi BN, Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, menyifatkan perkembangan itu sebagai isyarat awal untuk BN mencatat kejayaan besar pada pilihan raya umum Ahad depan tetapi menegaskan, jentera parti perlu terus meningkatkan usaha memastikan kemenangan. "Alhamdulillah dan tahniah kepada yang menang," katanya dalam sidang akhbar di Pejabat Umno Bahagian Kepala Batas selepas proses penamaan calon di Dewan Millenium, Kepala Batas.

  • Not an Offence to Refuse 90 Days' Maternity Leave, MEF Tells Ministry
    Not an offence to refuse 90 days’ maternity leave, MEF tells ministry BY YISWAREE PALANSAMY The Malay Mail Online17 December 2017 MEF executive director Datuk Shamsuddin Bardan said that while the Federal Constitution is indeed the supreme set of laws, it does not enforce any legal provision allowing for a 90-day maternity leave, pointing out that Putrajaya therefore cannot penalise employers. KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 17 — The Malaysian Employers Federation (MEF) told the Human Resources Ministry that private corporations cannot be punished if they do not provide 90 days’ maternity leave as there is currently no legislation requiring it. MEF executive director Datuk Shamsuddin Bardan said that while the Federal Constitution is indeed the supreme set of laws, it does not enforce any legal provision allowing for a 90- day maternity leave, pointing out that Putrajaya therefore cannot penalise employers. “Basically of course what the deputy minister has said has no legal basis. There is no legal basis for him to make that kind of statement because the Constitution, yes it’s an overarching provision, but it doesn’t say specifically on maternity leave and things like that. “I don’t see how companies’ refusal to give 90 days, when the law says 60 days, can become an offence. So I would say what the deputy minister said is a figment of his own imagination and it’s too far-fetched,” he told Malay Mail when contacted. In his ministerial winding up speech during the debate on the 2018 Budget in Parliament, Human Resources deputy minister Datuk Seri Ismail Abd Muttalib reportedly said that private sector employers can be investigated and charged should they fire female staffs who take 90 days’ maternity leave.
