Mindef: No Bullying In PLKN 3.0

Dec 16, 2024

Measures are in place to prevent any possible bullying cases involving the new National Service Training Programme.  

The Defence Ministry says the training camp will have CCTV cameras, while wardens will be stationed there around the clock.  

The new programme, known as PLKN 3.0 will take place from Jan 12 to Feb 25 next year. 

It involves some 200 trainees.

The Malaysian Employers Federation is against the proposed hike in insurance premiums next year.  

It says it will be an additional burden on companies, especially small and micro enterprises who already operate on tight budgets.  

The federation also warned that it may lead to higher prices, as these companies will have no choice but to pass on the additional cost to consumers.  

The MEF also warned that the premium hike may prompt employers to reduce health benefits and medical coverage for their staff.
