comments     Yusof Ghani     Published     Updated

Malaysian Commercial Bank Association (MCBA) is keeping mum on the outcome of its meeting with Human Resources Minister Dr Fong Chan Onn in Putrajaya yesterday although the banks' union consider it an urgent matter.

Malaysian Trade Union Congress (MTUC) secretary-general G Rajasekaran said the details of the meeting remain a "mystery" although a ministry source had informed him that the banks have agreed to set up the 'special account' to replace the National Union of Bank Employees (NUBE) existing account.

NUBE, with 28,000 members nationwide, is an affiliate under the MTUC.

"But I did not get the details on the meeting's outcome, which the officer told me that there were conditions imposed," Rajasekaran told malaysiakini when contacted this evening.

He said the MCBA should immediately inform the bank union or MTUC if it is sincere in resolving the issue and not leave the task to the minister.
