Nearly 100 Mulia Media Workers Placed on Paid Leave During Company Restructuring
Published
Media Mulia Sdn Bhd, the publisher of several newspapers in Malaysia, has reportedly ordered nearly 100 of its employees to take paid leave. The report was issued by the International Federation of Journalists (IFJ), an organisation that monitors media conditions and journalists' rights around the world.
According to the report, this measure was taken because the company is undergoing a restructuring process. Restructuring means that a company reorganises its work methods, departments, or staff so that its operations become more suitable. Paid leave means that employees do not need to come to work, but they still receive their salary as usual.
So far, the report does not provide clear information on how many employees will remain or leave once the restructuring process is complete. Media organisations and workers' unions usually monitor matters like this because they may affect media freedom and the job stability of journalists.
Up to now, the company has not issued a detailed statement on this matter. The public can continue to follow developments on this news through trustworthy media sources.
