KUALA LUMPUR, June 8 — The Malaysian Trades Union Congress (MTUC) today accused the human resources minister of misleading the public and interfering in the union’s internal affairs, amid controversy surrounding Malaysia’s participation in the 113th International Labour Conference (ILC).

In a strongly worded statement, MTUC said the minister had no authority to claim the organisation lacked leadership, asserting that the current leadership lies with the Joint Special Committee, which was established by a Court of Appeal order in February this year.

Human Resources Minister Steven Sim Chee Keong was singled out by MTUC as being responsible for what it called a failure to ensure proper representation of Malaysian workers at the ILC.

“The minister should be held responsible for the failure of an incomplete Malaysian delegation to the ILC,” MTUC said.
