HISTORICAL STEPS TO STRENGTHEN THE MALAYSIAN GIG EMPLOYEE ECOSYSTEM-YB R.RAMANAN

KUALA LUMPUR, April 3 — Deputy Minister R. Ramanan today announced the successful completion of the Watikah Submission Ceremony and Certificate of Appointment for members of the Gig Workers Tribunal (TPG) and the Gig Consultative Council (MPGiG), marking a significant milestone in the implementation of the Gig Workers Act 2025. The Act, which came into force on March 31, 2026, represents a major step forward in safeguarding the welfare of Malaysia’s estimated 1.64 million gig workers while ensuring fair treatment for platform provider entities. Ramanan emphasized that the appointments carry not only administrative duties but also a profound responsibility. “This is not merely a task, but a great mandate to ensure that every negotiation is conducted consistently, guided by the principles of comprehensive justice—protecting gig workers while maintaining fairness for platform providers,” he said. He noted that Malaysia is positioning itself as one of the earliest countries in Asia to introduce a dedicated legislative framework tailored to the rapidly evolving gig economy, reflecting the nation’s commitment to adapting to changing employment trends. The newly established Gig Workers Tribunal will serve as a platform for faster, collective, and equitable dispute resolution. Meanwhile, the Gig Consultative Council (MPGiG) will play a critical role in shaping policies, including proposals for minimum income rates and enhanced protection standards for gig workers. Ramanan expressed confidence in the appointed members, highlighting their expertise and commitment to building a more inclusive and sustainable ecosystem. “I believe that through their dedication, we can create a fair, inclusive, and sustainable gig economy. The principle guiding us is clear: we are here to facilitate, not to frustrate,” he said. He added that the MADANI government remains steadfast in its commitment to ensuring that Malaysia’s employment landscape continues to be progressive, competitive, and just for all. Ramanan concluded by congratulating all appointees and thanking them for their willingness to shoulder the responsibility on behalf of gig workers nationwide.
