Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2000, published 89th ILC session (2001)

Weekly Rest (Industry) Convention, 1921 (No. 14) - Malaysia - Sarawak (Ratification: 1964)

The Committee notes the report sent by the Government, which merely indicates that the Labour Ordinance is being revised. The Committee recalls that, in its report to the ILO in 1992, the Government stated that measures were being taken to amend section 105 of the Labour Ordinance in order to make it mandatory for employers to provide a weekly rest day to their workers. The Government made no further mention of this amendment in its reports sent in 1994 and 2000. The Committee hopes that the Government will take the necessary steps as soon as possible to bring its legislation into line with the Convention on this point and that it will provide the relevant text as soon as it has been adopted.
