Need for a law for gig workers under study, says HR minister

KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 9 — The Ministry of Human Resources is looking into the need for a law, specifically to regulate gig workers and protect their welfare as this group is not covered by the Employment Act 1955.

“The ministry has been following this issue involving gig workers in this country, whether raised by the mass media or during the question-and-answer time in Parliament. “Our ministry will be studying this decision in the UK on their gig workers being eligible for employment rights and whether this can be applied or adapted to regulate the gig workers in Malaysia,” he said in a statement today.
