TOKYO, Jan 22 — Japan has halted the restart of the world’s largest nuclear power plant just hours after it began, though the reactor remains “stable,” the operator said.
KOTA KINABALU, Nov 19 — Around 1,000 gig workers and youths attended a session in Tanjung Aru with Human Resources Minister Steven Sim and Pakatan Harapan candidate Datuk Chan Foong Hin to discuss gig workers’ challenges in Sabah.
Sim highlighted a new federal law officially recognising gig workers as employees, granting them basic protections such as social security, fair work standards, and a formal complaints platform. Sabah has an estimated 100,000 gig workers, many of whom have long lacked legal safeguards.
Attendees expressed relief at finally being acknowledged, while Sim stressed the need for cooperation between federal and state governments to ensure the law benefits Sabah workers. — Daily Express
