NSTnation: The National Union of Journalists (NUJ) has called on the government and opposition members of parliament to debate Utusan Melayu (M) Bhd’s fate in the Dewan Rakyat. utusanmelayu utusanmalaysia

NUJ president Mohd Taufek Razak said recent developments where Utusan announced that it would sell 70 per cent of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Dilof Sdn Bhd, to Aurora Mulia Sdn Bhd, did not provide any guarantee to the daily’s employees.

“Utusan’s publishing license has been saved, but the employees were gifted with a ‘gravestone’ through the closedown notice issued on Oct 9,” said Taufek. On Oct 9, the headquarters of Utusan that published Utusan Malaysia and Kosmo! were seized as part of its liquidation process. He said Utusan’s owners had breached the Collective Agreement signed by the union and the publisher which meant that there was a basis for legal action to be taken.

Lembah Pantai MP Fahmi Fadzil said the bigger matters which need to be addressed were the 862 workers who had yet to receive their September and October payments, and another 800 who undertook the Voluntary Separation Scheme earlier this year who had yet to receive their full settlement.
