Yes, the amendments to the Sabah & Sarawak Labour Ordinances are now officially in effect starting 1 May 2025, bringing them in line with the Employment Act 1955, which governs labour laws in Semenanjung Malaysia & WP Labuan.
I know many are curious (and kan cheong) about what had changed, like the reduction of weekly working hours to 45 and the extension of maternity leave to 98 days.
Sabar jap!
I’ll break it down for you as soon as I can! Stay tuned!

P.S. Aunty is so pleased to see that our labour laws are no longer so divided. Here’s to a more harmonious, fair, and united workforce for all Malaysians! 🇲🇾✨
