What Malaysian Employers Normally Say About Occupational Stress
1. It is not our fault mah! These people bring their problems to office loh! We cannot do anything.
2. We don't have stress here
3. Stress is not something which can be put out in our business. If you cannot overcome stress, you are still not up to our standard.
There is one management technique normally practiced in Malaysia - put Ben on the hot stove. This is how the management get people to work and expect them to produce results. Against the law? These people do not respect Malaysian law at all.

Jusco blast claims second life
MALACCA: The recent gas explosion at AEON Jusco outlet in Bachang claimed a second life with the death of engineer Ooi Kok On at the Malacca Hospital.
The 33-year-old from Sri Taman, Alor Setar, passed away at the hospital’s intensive care unit at 9.40am yesterday after undergoing two surgeries over the last six days for serious head injuries.
AEON Jusco general-manager (corporate communications) A. Rashid Adam, who was present at the hospital to console the deceased family, said the company would make arrangement for Ooi’s body to be brought back to his home for burial.
“We will bear the cost of sending Ooi’s remains back to his home in Alor Setar for the funeral.
“We will also ensure our staff are there for them if they need anything,” he told reporters yesterday, adding that Aeon had also presented RM10,000 to Ooi’s family.
The deceased father, Ooi Hua, 64, and several family members arrived at the hospital at about 10am to claim his remains but they were too distraught to speak.
Chief Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Ali Rustam, who was also present to extend his condolences, said four blast victims are still warded at the hospital while 15 others have been discharged.
The deadly blast occurred at the food court section on the ground floor of the three-storey complex just before 1pm last Monday as workers and tenants were busy making final preparations for the mall’s opening earlier scheduled for Dec 17.
Tiau See Peing, a supervisor at the Old Town White Coffee outlet, died on the spot when he was hit by flying debris while 20 others suffered injuries.
Following the blast, the complex grand opening was postponed pending a joint probe by the Energy Commission and the Fire and Rescue Department.
Initial investigations had revealed that negligence and a massive gas leak in the complex’s liquid petroleum gas system had caused the blast.
The contractors and engineers responsible for installation of the gas piping system have been suspended.

Jusco gas contractors suspended
MALACCA: The contractors and consultants responsible for gas works at the AEON Jusco outlet in Bachang here have been suspended with immediate effect as initial findings indicate negligence on their part.
Investigations found a massive leak in the centralised gas system as being the cause of the explosion on Monday that killed a 25-year-old supervisor and injured 20 others
State Fire and Rescue Department director Nik Zulkifli Ibrahim said the findings were based on the department’s investigations into the gas blast with the final report of the joint probe expected to be out in two weeks.
“The main cause of the explosion was due to a large gas leak at the Tea & Food outlet as indicated by a small fire following the explosion,” he told reporters after accompanying Chief Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Ali Rustam to the scene yesterday.
He added that negligence by those responsible for the centralised liquid petroleum gas system was also a factor.
Energy Commission Chief Operating Officer Ahmad Fauzi, who was also present, said the joint probe by the commission and the Fire and Rescue Department is expected to be completed within two weeks.
“We are still carrying out investigations and interviewing witnesses. It will take about two weeks before investigations are completed and the area cleared for repair works,” he said.
The deadly blast occurred at the food court section on the ground floor of the three-storey complex just before 1pm on Monday as workers and tenants were busy making final preparations for the mall’s opening scheduled for yesterday.
Tiau See Peing, a supervisor at the Old Town White Coffee outlet, was killed by flying debris while 20 others are being treated at the Malacca Hospital.
Of the number, six are in critical condition, eight are seriously injured while six others received outpatient treatment.
Meanwhile, AEON Jusco general-manager (corporate communications) A. Rashid Adam said it would defer the opening of the shopping mall until completion of the probe.

Belum Boleh Shopping di Jusco Melaka @ Bachang
Opening of mall on hold
MALACCA: The Dec 17 grand opening of the AEON Jusco outlet in Bachang, the largest in the country, has been called off pending the approval from the authorities probing Monday’s deadly blast, said state public works and utilities committee chairman Datuk Gan Tian Loo.
However, it is learnt that with Christmas just round the corner, the shopping mall operator is keen to start business on Dec 21 but would not be able to operate the food court that was damaged in the blast.
Gan advised AEON Jusco to wait for the report before opening the outlet because despite engineers saying that the main structure of the building is safe, the explosion had caused extensive damage to the interior of the food court.
The explosion occurred at the food court section on the ground floor of the three-storey complex just before 1pm on Monday as workers and tenants were busy making final preparations for Thursday’s grand opening.
The force of the blast caused a 2m-wide hole in the building wall, showering glass and debris over a 25m radius and caused a small fire.
Tiau See Peing, 25, a supervisor from Batu Pahat of the Old Town White Coffee outlet, was killed by flying debris while 20 others are being treated at the Malacca Hospital of which six are critical, eight seriously injured while six others received outpatient treatment.
State Women Affairs, Family Development and Health committee chairman Datuk Norpipah Abdol said the state presented aid of between RM2,000 to RM5,000 to the blast victims and RM5,000 to Tiau’s family.
A joint probe by the Fire and Rescue Services Department, Malay-sian Energy Commission, and the Department of Occupational Safety and Health (DOSH) will focus on the possibility of gas leakage and human error for the blast.
However, investigations can only proceed after the centralised gas piping system in the building is purged of trapped gas to prevent a second blast.
DOSH deputy operations director Mohtar Musri said the section of the food court affected by the explosion was still deemed unsafe as there was a danger that loose ceiling panels could collapse in the event of a second explosion.
A search and rescue operation was mounted early yesterday morning for three people — two locals and a foreigner — whose identification documents were found in the rubble. They were not among those rescued.
State fire and rescue department director Nik Zulkifli Ibrahim said the authorities were tracing the whereabouts of local workers Mahusin Jusoh and Rominor Chik and foreign worker Mominul Islam.
Earlier, Malacca Governor Tun Mohd Khalil Yaakob visited the injured blast victims at the Malacca Hospital and the blast scene to see the extent of damage caused by the explosion.

Mari Menyiasat Kemalangan Maut Di Jusco Melaka
Joint probe on mall explosion
MALACCA: Authorities here will conduct a joint probe to determine the cause of the deadly blast at the AEON Jusco mall in Bachang that killed a 25-year-old man while injuring 20 others on Monday.
The probe, to be carried out by the Fire and Rescue Services Department, the Malaysian Energy Commission and the Department of Occupational Safety and Health (DOSH) will focus on the possibility of gas leakage and human error as factors resulting in the gas explosion.
However, investigations can only proceed after the centralised gas piping system in the building is purged of trapped gas to prevent a second blast.
DOSH deputy operations director Mohtar Musri said the section of the food court affected by the explosion was still deemed unsafe as there is the risk that loose ceiling panels might collapse in the event of a second explosion.
“Our priority is securing the affected area to ensure that it is safe for those investigating the scene.
“At the moment, there may still be gas trapped along the piping system,” he said when met at scene here on Tuesday.
Although unable to pinpoint the cause of the explosion, he said an initial probe suggested a leakage in the gas piping system and a lack of coordination between those responsible for the installation of gas supply to the food court.
“Gas from the bullet tank is channeled through the pipeline and is supplied to the kitchens.
“It is likely that there was a leak somewhere along the piping system to the cooking area,” he said.
He added the blast caused extensive damage to six restaurants out of the 20 located in the area at the food court where the explosion happened.
Meanwhile, a search and rescue operation was mounted by the Fire and Rescue Department early Tuesday morning when three persons, whose identity cards were found in the rubble, were unaccounted for amongst those rescued on Monday.
The discovery of the identity cards belonging to two locals and a pass belonging to a foreign worker prompted a thorough search of the blast area which turned up negative.
State Fire and Rescue Department director Nik Zulkifli Ibrahim said authorities are trying to trace the whereabouts of local workers Mahusin Jusoh and Rominor Chik and foreign worker Mominul Islam.
“We carried out a thorough search of the area including sifting through the rubble and checking the ceilings but we did not find them.
“They may have left the scene after the blast and we hope that they will come forward to assist in our investigations,” he said.
Earlier, Malacca Governor Tun Mohd Khalil Yaakob visited the injured blast victims at the Malacca Hospital and the blast scene to see the extent of damage caused by the explosion.

Supervisor Terbunuh Di Tempat Kerja Dalam Letupan Di Jusco Melaka
Intensive damage: The glass and ceiling panels of this restaurant were completely shattered by the explosion.
Supervisor killed in gas explosion
MALACCA: The much-anticipated opening of the largest AEON Jusco outlet in the country in Jalan Legenda, Bachang, here is likely to be postponed following a gas explosion that killed a 25-year-old supervisor and injured 16 others.
The explosion is believed to have occurred at the food court section on the ground floor of the three-storey complex just before 1pm yesterday when workers and tenants were busy making final preparations for Thursday’s grand opening.
The force of the blast blew a 2m-wide hole in the building’s wall, showering glass and debris over a 25m radius and causing a small fire.
Firemen from the Kubu station, who arrived six minutes after receiving a distress call, found two injured victims lying outside the building.
Tiau See Peing, a supervisor from Batu Pahat at the Old Town White Coffee, was found dead with a neck wound caused by flying debris.
Other victims were pulled out alive from the rubble.
State fire department operations deputy director R. Ezhumalai said the blast is believed to have been caused by a gas leak when workers were testing gas meters from the centralised liquid petroleum gas system.
“Several survivors mentioned there was a smell of gas shortly before the blast,” he said at the scene, adding that the injuries and damage came mostly from the blast and flying debris.
“We are still investigating to determine the exact location of the blast and what may have caused it.”
At press time, seven victims were reported to have suffered serious injuries while three are in critical condition. They have been warded at the Malacca Hospital.
Six other victims received outpatient treatment.
Meanwhile, state Human Resources Committee chairman Datuk Yaakub Md Amin said the Department of Occupational Safety and Health had been directed to investigate the blast, adding that investigations would focus on whether the contractors had followed safety measures.

MALACCA: The much anticipated grand opening of the largest AEON Jusco mall in the country here in Jalan Legenda in Bachang this Dec 17 is likely to be postponed following a fatal gas explosion that killed a 25-year-old supervisor while injuring 16 others on Monday.
The explosion was said to have happened at the food court section located on ground floor of the three-storey complex just before 1pm when workers and tenants were busy making final preparation for the opening.
The force of the blast blew a 2m hole in the building’s sidewall while showering glass and debris over a 25m radius before starting a small fire.
Firemen from the Kubu fire and rescue station, who arrived on the scene six minutes after receiving a distress call at 12.59pm, immediately put out a small fire and found two injured victims lying outside the building.
A search and rescue operation was mounted for other victims when it was learned that there were several others missing or trapped under the rubble.
Five victims were later pulled out alive from the rubble while another, Tiau See Peing, 25, a supervisor from Batu Pahat with Old Town White Coffee was found dead with a fatal neck wound cause by flying debris.
State Fire Departments operations deputy director R. Ezhumalai said the blast is believed to have been caused by a leak when workers were testing the gas meters from the centralised Liquid Petroleum Gas system.
“We believe that the explosion was due to a gas leak as victims mentioned the smell of gas shortly before the blast.
“Although there was a small fire, the injuries and damage were caused by the blast and flying debris,” he said when met at the scene here.
Initial investigations, he added, indicated the blast originated from a leak in the gas system near the food court next to the Food & Tea restaurant.
“We are still investigating to determine the exact location of the blast or what may have caused it,” he said, adding that several other victims were earlier rushed to the hospital for treatment.
At press time, seven victims were reported to have suffered serious injuries while three are said to be in critical condition at the Malacca Hospital. Six other victims received outpatient treatment.
Meanwhile, state human resources committee chairman Datuk Yaakub Md Amin said the Department of Occupational Safety and Health has been directed to investigate the blast.

“Action will be taken against them if they had not done so, resulting in the explosion,” he said.
He added that it was fortunate that the blast happened before the opening of the shopping complex when there were fewer people around.

Data Kesihatan dan Keselamatan Pekerjaan Malaysia 2008
Dalam ucapan perasmian Hari Keselamatan dan Kesihatan Pekerjaan di MSET Shipbuilding di Pulau Kambing, Terengganu pada 15 Januari 2009, Menteri Sumber Manusia, Datuk Dr. S.Subramaniam menyatakan bahawa sebanyak 63,600 kes kemalangan di tempat kerja dilaporkan pada tahun 2008. Pada tahun yang sama, 1,303 kes kematian dilaporkan. Penyumbang kadar kemalangan yang tertinggi ialah sektor pembuatan. Sebanyak 188 kemalangan maut dilaporkan di sektor itu pada tahun 2008. Menurut Jabatan Keselamatan dan Kesihatan Pekerjaan, penyebab utama kemalangan ialah kegagalan majikan mengadakan sistem pengurusan keselamatan dan kesihatan di tempat kerja (OSH Management System). Di samping itu, pekerja pula tidak mematuhi prosedur kerja selamat yang telah ditetapkan. Matlamat kerajaan ialah mencapai tiga kes kemalangan bagi setiap 1,000 orang pekerja menjelang negara maju pada tahun 2020. Berbagai program dan kempen dijalankan untuk mencapai matlamat itu.
Sementara itu, Jabatan Keselamatan dan Kesihatan Pekerjaan (JKKP) mengeluarkan sebanyak 5,559 notis kepada majikan di seluruh negara sepanjang 2008 kerana gagal mematuhi piawaian keselamatan mengikut Akta Keselamatan dan Kesihatan Pekerjaan 1994. Ini dinyatakan oleh Timbalan Ketua Pengarah (Dasar) JKKP Malaysia, Zabidi Md Adib kepada pemberita selepas merasmikan Seminar Penguatkuasaan KKP dan Kod Amalan Keselamatan, Kesihatan dan Alam Sekitar di Sektor Pengangkutan Jalan Raya di Johor Baharu dalam bulan Mei 2009. Sebanyak 135 kes dibawa ke mahkamah manakala 14 majikan dikenakan tindakan kompaun kerana didapati melanggar Akta Keselamatan dan Kesihatan Pekerjaan 1994. Pelanggaran kepada akta dikesan melalui audit dan pemeriksaan mengejut secara berterusan. 5,559 notis yang dikeluarkan membabitkan majikan di bawah semua 11 sektor yang termaktub dalam bidang kuasa Jabatan Keselamatan dan Kesihatan Pekerjaan (JKKP). Menurut Zabidi Md Adib, pemilik syarikat masih gagal mengadakan perkara asas sistem pengurusan keselamatan dan kesihatan pekerjaan iaitu dasar keselamatan dan kesihatan di tempat kerja (Safety and Health Policy at Workplace). Dasar keselamatan dan kesihatan di tempat kerja (Safety and Health Policy at Workplace) menunjukkan komitmen majikan kepada pekerja. Kebanyakan notis yang dikeluarkan berkaitan dengan kegagalan untuk menyediakan dasar itu yang merupakan perkara yang paling asas di tempat kerja.
