KUALA LUMPUR, June 5 — Employers who force their workers to be present at the workplace despite being non-essential services can be reported to the Human Resource Ministry (MHR) said Senior Minister (Security Cluster) Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said workers wearing the quarantine band should not be forced to be present at the workplace and such incidents can be reported to MHR hotline at 03-88862409, 03-88862352 and 03-88889111 for violating the standard operating procedure (SOP).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWorkers are also told to report if employers infringe the 60 per cent capacity allowed. If those wearing pink band were ordered to work, I hope the cases would be reported to MHR so that action could be taken as all parties should cooperate to ensure there is no SOP violation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEmployers who force\u00a0their workers to\u00a0work should face action but I understand their workers have no choice as they could have been warned or\u00a0face\u00a0termination,\u201d he told a media conference after visiting a roadblock in\u00a0Jalan Ampang here today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ismail Sabri however said there were cases when actions had been taken and the premises were ordered to close and issued compounds as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cInsyaAllah, if everybody cooperates on the matter (compliance to SOP) and total lockdown, we could together flatten the COVID-19 curve,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apart from that, Ismail Sabri said MKN also received many complaints on business premises and factories which are not categorised as essential services, operating during the total loackdown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe received many complaints from the people including social media that such premises are open and operating despite being prohibited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs such, Prime Minister (Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin) has ordered for the tightening of enforcement\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ismail Sabri said members of the public could also lodge their complaints with the Malaysian Government Call Centre at 03-80008000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also present at the event were Defence Ministry secretary-general Datuk Seri Muez Abd Aziz, Army chief  Gen Tan Sri Zamrose Mohd Zain and Wangsa Maju police chief Supt Ashari Abu Samah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
