Proclamation of Emergency should be tabled, debated in Parliament – Malaysian Bar

— The Malaysian Bar today said the Emergency Ordinances should have been tabled and debated in Parliament.

Its president AG Kalidas said Article 150(3) of the Federal Constitution clearly stipulated that “A Proclamation of Emergency and any ordinance promulgated under Clause (2B) shall be laid before both Houses of Parliament and, if not sooner revoked, shall cease to have effect if resolutions are passed by both Houses annulling such proclamation or ordinance…”.

He said the role of Parliament underpinned the values needed for the functioning of a democracy and it must therefore adhere to high standards of integrity when discharging its responsibilities.

“This duty falls squarely on the shoulders of the Cabinet, Members of Parliament and the Speaker of Parliament.

“It is therefore imperative that the Cabinet conveys accurate information during parliamentary sittings to ensure that Parliament can engage in effective and meaningful debates. Under no circumstance whatsoever should Parliament ever be misled, even more so during a global pandemic that has upended and thrown the lives of all those in Malaysia into disarray,” he said in a statement today.

He was commenting on the statement issued by the Comptroller of the Royal Household of Istana Negara, Datuk Ahmad Fadil Shamsuddin that Yang di-Pertuan Agong Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri’ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah had expressed his utmost disappointment with the statement made in Parliament last Monday that the government had revoked all Emergency Ordinances under the ongoing emergency without His Majesty’s consent.

He said the Malaysian Bar shared His Majesty’s dismay over the confusing statements made in Parliament during its recent sittings.

Walk-in vaccination for senior citizens in Penang from Aug 2

— Starting Aug 2 and 3, senior citizens in Penang can walk into four vaccination centres (PPV) that have been identified to receive their COVID-19 vaccine, Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow said.

Chow said the decision was made through the state-level COVID-19 Immunisation Task Force meeting yesterday.

“Senior citizens, whether they have registered via the MySejahtera application or not, and have yet to receive any vaccination appointments can walk into the PPVs at Millenium Hall (Seberang Perai Utara district), SP Arena (Seberang Perai Tengah district), Jawi Multipurpose Hall (Seberang Perai Selatan district) starting Aug 2.

“Meanwhile, for the island, another mega PPV, namely the SPICE Convention Centre will start operating on Aug 1 with a capacity of 5,000 doses per day, and is set to receive senior citizens for walk-in vaccinations starting Aug 3, specifically for those who live in the Timur Laut and Barat Daya districts,” he said in a statement today.

He added that vaccine recipients are required to bring along their identity documents, especially their identity cards for the registration and immunisation process.

Chow said as of yesterday, Penang has achieved 51.1 per cent of the first dose vaccination rate.

“The state government promises to double our efforts in ensuring all adult population in the state receive at least one dose of the vaccine earlier than the initial target of early September,” he said.

Meanwhile, Chow said the Penang government would continue its 3T approach, namely testing, tracing and treatment, in the effort to break the COVID-19 infection chain in the state.

“What we can see now, including the highest number of cases reported yesterday, is due to mass screening conducted not only by the Penang Health Department (JKNPP) but also through the state’s free COVID-19 test programme and the initiative of industries,” he explained.

As of noon yesterday, there were 51 active clusters in Penang, 40 of which were from the manufacturing sector, workplace (seven), educational institution (two) and construction site (two).

“According to JKNPP report, a total of 155 factories have been ordered to close from January until July 26, compared to 17 factories last year,” he said.

72 employers in Melaka charged under Employees’ Social Security Act 1969

Seventy-two employers in Melaka have been charged with violating various provisions of the Employees’ Social Security Act 1969 (Act 4) since January till yesterday.

Melaka Social Security Organisation (Socso) director, Abd Razak Omar said the offences committed were not registering their business and workers, failing to pay the contributions to Socso and not reporting accidents involving their workers.

He said employers hiring at least one worker must register that worker as required under Sections 4, 5, 14 and 16 of Act 4 and Act 800 (Employment Insurance System Act 2017).

“We view this matter seriously as it is the responsibility of employers to protect their workers and ensure their safety.

“There were those among them who gave the excuse of not having the money for the Socso contributions for their workers while the rate is very low. In fact, there were also some who deducted the amount from their workers’ salary but not contributing it to Socso and this is an offence,” he told reporters, here, today.

Earlier, Abd Razak had accompanied state Unity, Community Relations, Manpower and Consumer Affairs Committee chairman, Datuk Ismail Othman in handing over the invalidity benefit and funeral management benefit to Mohamad Shukri Hassan, 39, in Kampung Air Hitam Darat, Masjid Tanah, here.

The invalidity benefit is RM650 per month and the sum for the funeral expenses is RM2,000.

Mohamad Shukri lost his wife, Monaliza Udin, 35, on June 22 from complications while giving birth to their fourth child at a hospital in Selangor. Their other children are aged 10, seven and four.

Meanwhile, Safrina Solehi, 38, who lost her husband, Mohd Harkam Harun, 40, in a road accident at Jalan Brisu-Simpang Ampat, here, on June 29 received RM1,207.29 in invalidity benefit and RM2,000 for funeral expenses. She has two sons aged four and two years.

Abd Razak said that since last January until June, Melaka Socso received 3,177 claims involving total payment of RM9.589 million.
