Myanmar refugees holding valid United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) cards remain subject to the Immigration Act 1959/63. As quoted by FMT , Malaysian news agency Bernama reported that the Immigration Director-General Zakaria Shaaban said UNHCR cardholders could be treated as undocumented migrants if they committed certain immigration offences, including working without a valid pass or permit. “Employers who employ UNHCR card-holding refugees without valid authorisation may also be subject to legal action,” he said in a statement today.

Media reported a former real estate consultant was today ordered to serve 10 years in jail and fined nearly RM228 million after the Court of Appeal allowed the prosecution’s final appeal to overturn his acquittal on corruption and money laundering charges.

Puteri UMNO chief Puan Nurul Amal Fauzi said gig  work should not be the main source of income for Malaysian youth, FMT reported today. She said highly-qualified graduates were being forced to depend on gig work after failing to secure jobs that match their qualifications. “Gig work should not be the ultimate answer for young people with degrees who are unable to find suitable employment. I want to push the government to take this seriously,” she reportedly told the news portal when met at the Puteri UMNO office at Menara Tun Hussein Onn recently. According to a recent World Bank report, the gig sector has become one of the drivers of employment in Malaysia. The report, “Raising the Ceiling, Raising the Floor: The Jobs Agenda as a Productivity Agenda”, said the number of digital job platforms registered with Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation increased from 11 in 2016 to 123 in 2021, with an estimated 1.12 million gig workers.

Permadu Malaysia mengucapkan Selamat Pengantin Baru kepada kedua-dua mempelai. Kekal aktif, bersosial dan kadang-kadang naik pelamin. Ramai orang ingat bila usia meningkat, hidup makin perlahan, makin sunyi, dan makin kurang warna. Hakikatnya, penuaan sihat bukan sekadar bebas penyakit. Ia juga tentang terus ada tujuan hidup, terus bergerak aktif, terus berhubung dengan orang sekeliling, dan terus rasa bahawa hidup ini masih bermakna. Bila seseorang masih mampu membina hubungan yang baik, menjaga emosi, mengekalkan keyakinan diri dan melalui fasa baru kehidupan dengan tenang, itu juga sebahagian daripada penuaan yang sihat. Kadang-kadang, kebahagiaan di usia lanjut bukan datang daripada benda besar pun. Cukup dengan rasa diha...
