KUALA LUMPUR: All issues and concerns raised by gig workers will be resolved through dedicated gig worker legislation, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said.
Anwar said there are still shortcomings in several areas that require improvements, particularly in safeguarding the welfare of this group of workers.
“God willing, the shortcomings faced by gig workers will be addressed through the Gig Workers Bill, which we will table in the upcoming Parliament session,” he said.
He said this in his keynote address in conjunction with the 2025 Labour Day Celebration today.
Earlier, Human Resources Minister Steven Sim said the draft bill, which is ready to be tabled, was prepared following engagement sessions involving over 3,000 gig workers.
