Termination of Employment: the procedure, Effect and Consequences

Mr R.Ravindra Kumar, Partner, Dispute Resolution, Raja, Darryl & Loh

Dismissal without just cause stems from the failure to follow proper procedures prior to termination, ignorance of employee rights and shoddy investigation of the employee’s guilt before termination. The speaker’s focus will be on getting it right before termination and the consequences that will follow for failing to do so.

New Development in the Law

Mr Deepak Mahadevan, Associate , Raja, Darryl & Loh

Many get confused over the different types of claims which can be instituted by an employee. In this session, the distinction between employment actions brought in the Labour Court, Industrial Court and Civil Court will be discussed.  The Speaker will also speak about the amendments to the Employment Act. Sexual harassment, previously governed by Code of Conduct, may now have the force of law through the amendments to the Employment Act. This will apply irrespective of the wages of the employee. The Speaker will explain the impact of this new development in law to the workplace along with other amendments to the Employment Act.

The EUMCCI Logistics Committee together with the EU delegation to Malaysia and its partners are proud to unveil the recently completed the “Key Logistics Spots in Malaysia Map 2011/2012” featuring the key nodal points in Malaysia and their key strengths. 

The “Key Logistics Spots in Malaysia” map will provide us with an important reference; in particular, transportation and facilitation of freight traffic will be at the epicentre of the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC), to be a reality by 2020. Particularly for Malaysia, the logistics sector, strengthened by the capitalization on the country’s competitive advantages could make Malaysia the next leading logistics and warehouse hub in ASEAN and this is supported by the results of the EUMCCI’s Survey carried out in 2011. 

The Map will be distributed through the EUMCCI and the communication channels of project partners both in Malaysia and abroad. We believe that the map itself will serve as an important informative tool for students and researchers, transport and supply chain management and for potential FDI investors both from Europe and indeed others parts of the world. The Malaysian Investment Development Authority (MIDA) is an instrumental supporter for this project and we believe this will serve both as a business and marketing tool for the MIDA and Malaysia External Trade Development Corporation (MATRADE) offices locally and abroad.
