| Postmen to work five-day week from Jan 1 Posted: 05 Dec 2012 07:49 AM PST KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 5 – Some 8,500 postmen nationwide will work a five-day week from Jan 1 next year compared to the six working days presently. Information Communications and Culture Minister Datuk Seri Dr Rais Yatim said the postmen are part of 16,500 employees of Pos Malaysia Berhad (Pos Malaysia) who deserve to enjoy the new working hours. However, for postmen in Sabah and Sarawak, the new working hours would only be effective on Feb 1 as Pos Malaysia requires more time to make the adjustment. "For these two states (Sabah and Sarawak) Pos Malaysia will need four weeks more than peninsula to prepare for operation and administration and taking into account the geography," he told reporters after a 'Ramah Mesra' programme with representatives of Pos Malaysia Workers Union here, today. Rais said employees who need to work on weekends especially, in shopping malls could claim for reasonable overtime. – Bernama |
