THE National Union of Bank Employees (NUBE) strongly rebuts the recent statement issued by Maybank and the Malayan Commercial Banks’ Association (MCBA) where they denied the allegations of harassment and mistreatment highlighted by NUBE.
Maybank and MCBA have falsely claimed that the sexual harassment case is before the courts, using this as an excuse to avoid commenting.
In reality, the case has not yet exhausted internal remedies or reached the reconciliation stage at the Industrial Relations Department (IRD), exposing their dishonesty. This behaviour is disgraceful for institutions responsible for public funds, which should uphold integrity.
A dispute can only be referred to court after all internal processes are completed and the minister, if necessary, refers it. Any bypass of this procedure, such as an express transfer to the Industrial Court by the minister once again, would be an abuse of power.
This statement, reported in the media, is yet another attempt by Maybank to mislead its employees, shareholders, and the public.
Misleading claims and manipulation tactics
Maybank’s assertion that “there have been no unfair actions as alleged by NUBE” is a blatant misrepresentation.
The bank’s troubling pattern of workplace misconduct is widespread and systemic, not isolated. A clear example is the ongoing case at the Bercham branch in Ipoh, where the evidence speaks for itself.
Respecting the legal process vs. obstructing justice
Maybank’s call for NUBE to “respect the process” is nothing more than a smokescreen.
While NUBE has always operated within the legal framework to protect the rights of its members, Maybank’s actions suggest that they are using the ongoing legal processes as a cover to delay and deny justice to the victim.
This is a classic tactic of misdirection, where the bank aims to exhaust the victim and any supporting parties into submission.
A call for accountability
NUBE urges all stakeholders, including PNB and the Malaysian government, to hold Maybank accountable for its actions.
It is crucial that the bank’s management, including CEO Datuk Khairussaleh Ramli and Datuk Brian Jit Singh, are made to answer for their failure to uphold the rights and dignity of their employees.
There is an urgent need to establish an independent body to investigate the integrity of bank top management, as their actions are undermining the credibility of financial institutions.
We also call on all NUBE members and the wider public to stand in solidarity with the victim and to continue to demand justice.
This fight is not just about one individual - it is about the fundamental rights of every worker in Malaysia to be treated with dignity and respect. - Aug 30, 2024
The National Union of Bank Employees (NUBE) is committed to ensuring the dignity, rights, and welfare of bank employees across Malaysia.
