In the letter UNI expressed its concern for the trade union and human rights violations and the lack of government response after an earlier letter of concern from the UNI Asia and Pacific Regional Office.



The violations witnessed and documented by NUBE Malaysia were the sponsorship by Maybank management of an in-house union, and dismissal of two NUBE officers resulting from their participation in lawful trade union activities.



In order to rectify the situation at Maybank, UNI calls for the following concrete actions to be taken:

  • Direct the appropriate authorities to cancel the registration of the in-house union with immediate effect.
  • Reinstate the two NUBE officials dismissed by Maybank.
  • Investigate and make public the findings of the numerous acts of trade union rights’ violations by Maybank and the Ministry of Human Resources, Malaysia.



UNI encourages the Prime Minister to seek to resolve this tense and difficult situation and offers the constructive engagement of UNI Apro and UNI Global Union.
