Kedah Agro employees lodge report to claim salary arrears

MBI Kedah unit has not paid 24 workers since July last year

ALOR STAR – The employees of Kedah Agro Holdings Bhd have lodged a report to the Kedah branch of the Peninsular Malaysia Labour Department here today to claim their salaries, which have been in arrears since July last year.

A representative of the company’s employees, Mohamad Redzwan Ramlee, said all 24 workers involved only wanted to demand their rights, having waited a long time for their pay.

“Some of us are facing domestic problems due to this issue, so this is not something trivial and we are not making it a political issue,” he told reporters after lodging a report at the state Labour Department here today.

He said the report to the department was made to demand that Kedah Agro pay all workers’ salary arrears, which have been outstanding since last year.

“Our salary has been in arrears for nine months, during that period we struggled, some worked part time, or at restaurants, doing all kinds of things while some had to depend on their wife’s income, for survival.

“We are not pressured by any party, we are only demanding our rights… we hope this matter will be resolved as soon as possible because it will be Raya soon as we have waited too long.

“If we don’t do all this and just hope, it won’t happen. During that period, some are still going to the office, some are struggling to find money for their children to go to school during this fasting month,” he said.

Earlier today, Human Resources Minister Steven Sim was reported to have said that Kedah Agro had assured it would pay outstanding salaries of about RM560,000 to 24 workers before the Aidilfitri celebration next month.

Sim said the board of directors’ meeting yesterday also decided to stop the operation of the Menteri Besar Kedah Inc subsidiary. – March 19, 2024
