00:00I will start my introduction by answering the issues that have been frequently raised since the last meeting
00:06related to human resources in the Ministry of Health.
00:09YB Kota Melaka, Kuala Langat, Pulai and Kuala Nurus have raised the issue of overtime
00:16which has increased from 42 hours per week to 45 hours per week on SSBA.
00:23I am very aware of the concerns and concerns of many voices, especially from the lecturers.
00:37And in this regard, the Public Service Department, JPA, has passed the interim term.
00:43We ask for a little time,
00:47the interim term for three months, starting from 1st December 2024 until 28th February 2025
00:56to prepare for the implementation of the 45-hour shift working time in the Ministry of Health.
01:03The shift work is different from the office hours.
01:08And with that, the Public Service Department is still asking for this interim or moratorium
01:17to be given to us so that we can implement the working time requested
01:26because we see some things related to charity, work pressure, etc.
01:35and other schemes related to the shift.
01:40So we hope we can harmonize this request with the request for a moratorium or part of the moratorium program.
01:55Since the interim term, KKM has taken several sessions related to management
02:00and public dialogue sessions according to zones throughout the country.
02:04Among the results of our management, among other things,
02:08we pay attention to the need to help the participants
02:19in arranging and scheduling the implementation of this 45-hour shift.
02:26Discussing issues in the field including the welfare of health workers
02:31and also looking for improvements to strengthen the implementation of the shift working time regulations
02:37at KKM before it was lifted for JPA consideration.
02:42And I also held a session on management with the unions.
02:50Six or seven sessions were held on February 20 as an arrangement for our first session.
02:59This is a comprehensive view of the implementation of the shift working time regulations.
03:11And I still want to have a discussion with the JPA.
03:20Does the meaning of 42 plus 3 mean that we are still weighing
03:26so that what becomes a burden to the health workers or our workforce
03:33is the addition of 45 hours a week.
03:36I am very aware and I am very sincere that this burden of work will be added.
03:41That is why I am still taking the attitude to consult with the JPA
03:47so that whatever the truth is, the health workers have been working for more than 42 hours a week
03:54for a long time.
03:56Because the things related to their rest and passing over are not taken into account.
04:02So can we consult so that whatever is said in the terms of 42 plus 3
04:09it does not add to the burden of work to them.
04:14And this is what we want to harmonize with the new SSPA requirement
04:18so that we can have a win-win situation
04:23or for us to be able to rely on this agreement.
04:30And I still want the highest management of the KKM to consult with the JPA.
04:36That is why we need a little more time
04:39for us to be able to solve this problem comprehensively.
