The Company would like to reiterate that we have remained professional in our dealings with the union together with its affiliated parties and would like to assure the public that we will continue to ensure no service disruption at all hospitals under the Company’s care. In that respect the Company is committed to work together with the Ministry of Health Malaysia (“MOH”) to address the matter.

As a responsible corporate citizen, the Company has always complied with the Malaysian labour law practices across its operations. Pertaining to the main issue raised by the union during the memorandum handover and in accordance with the Malaysian labour law, the minimum retirement age is 60 years old, hence any extension to the employment contracts is based on individuals’ performance, employment records and fit for duty as hospitals are high risk areas.

Due to ongoing developments relating to this matter, any further updates on this matter will be communicated through our website (www.uemedgenta.com).
