KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 12 (Bernama) -- The government pulled back the Employment Act (Amendment) Bill 2010 which was due for second reading at the Dewan Rakyat Tuesday.
The withdrawal was announced by Deputy Human Resources Minister Datuk Maznah Mazlan.
Human Resources Minister Datuk Dr S. Subramaniam, when contacted, said the withdrawal was made to enable several changes to be made and provisions to be added.
He denied that the withdrawal was prompted by the proposed pickets by Parti Sosialis Malaysia (PSM) at seven locations to air its objection against several bills proposed by the ministry.
Subramaniam said the Employment Act (Amendment) Bill would be tabled again after the changes were made.
The bill, which was tabled for first reading on July 8, among others, covered sexual harassment, welfare and domestic help.
