JOHOR BARU – An electrical and electronic component-related factory here received a RM62,000 fine today, for committing offences under Act 446 and breaching standard operating procedures (SOPs) under the National Recovery Plan.
Deputy Human Resources Minister Datuk Awang Hashim said of the total, a RM20,000 compound was issued after the factory was found to have been operating with over 60% workers.
“Five other compounds totalling RM42,000 were issued by the Health Ministry as the employees did not scan the MySejahtera QR code and were not performing sanitisation at the premises, which is also an offence under the International Trade and Industry Ministry.
“The factory has 8,426 workers comprising 5,296 foreigners and 3,130 locals.” – Bernama, July 3, 2021
