The government will be tabling the Gig Workers Commission bill in Parliament this July, said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
He said the government is tabling the bill after receiving the proposal from youth earlier.
“Recently, there was a proposal from the youth. They want the Gig Workers Commission, as tens of thousands, in fact exceeding 100,000 of the young people are working in the gig sector.
“The government has formulated, and we have the legislation, and hopefully, it would be tabled in parliament in July to fulfil the demand of youth,” he said.
Anwar, when speaking at the closing of the Bumiputera Economic Congress (KEB) in Putrajaya in March, announced the establishment of the Gig Workers Commission to protect the rights of 1.12 million gig workers with a focus on meeting social needs, resolving contract disputes and promoting the career advancement of the group concerned.
