BANGI, 1st May 2016 – General staff at The National
University of Malaysia (UKM) should carry out their tasks to the best of
their abilities, says the president of the Union for General Staff of
UKM (KESUKMA) Abdul Rahman Hj Mohd Nordin.
While they have their rights, Abdul Rahman acknowledges that workers also have their responsibilities to the management.
“I hope that government sector employees especially in UKM will do
their jobs with full productiveness to ensure the government can be
successful in making the country achieve a developed status,” he said in
an interview with the UKM News Portal in conjunction with Labour Day
today.
At the same time, he pledged to carry out his responsibilities as a
UKM staff and protect the rights of workers, whether at the university
or in other public sectors.
Abdul Rahman, who is also the Deputy Secretaries General II for
Congress for Unions of Employees in the Public and Civil Services
Malaysia (CUEPACS), said a lot of workers rely on him to protect their
interests.
He explained that in fighting for the rights of employees, no one else dares to because they are afraid of being fired.
“Now, problems such as promotions have been solved,” he said.
He stated that he is responsible for fair treatment of employees,
especially when it’s about drafting policies on workers allowances,
salaries and scheme of services.
Serving for UKM for 20 years as an Assistant Mechanical Engineer
under the Department of Management and Development, he believes the key
to being a good union leader is being able to manage time.
He works alternate nights and mornings looking after the cooling
plants, while in the afternoons he is more focused on matters of KESUKMA
and CUEPACS.
