Malaysia needs a revived MTUC


Malaysia needs a revived MTUC

The newly-elected office-bearers of the Malaysian Trades Union Congress (MTUC) have brought hope to revive and rebrand the trade union movement in the country.
Like other civil society organizations, the MTUC has borne the brunt of a political system that had been driving full-speed towards authoritarian rule. With a political reawakening in Malaysia, supported strongly by the younger generation, MTUC delegates has acted in line with the aspirations of Malaysians in electing its leadership.
Led by its newly-elected secretary-general N. Gopalakishnam, there is a genuine hope that MTUC will play a more active role in restoring a sorely lacking balance within the Malaysian industrial relations system. There will undeniably be a lot of hard work ahead, and drastic changes should not be expected of the new leadership immediately, as they will be dealing with a system that needs an overhaul.
