Sri Aman: DAP Sri Aman today received a complaint from a group of very upset gentlemen coming from Batu Lintang Undup. They were complaining that they have not received their salaries for four months from their employer Locvest Security Sdn Bhd.

Mr Ragom, representing the 22 employees of the security firm, has said they tried all possible avenues to get the attention of their employers which is based in Selangor.

After much discussion with his colleagues, Mr Ragom seeked the help of Leon Jimat Donald, DAP Sarawak Vice Chairman. 

'After consulting these gentlemen, I will try to help them by writing a demand letter to their employer seeking their explanation and for them to hurry the salaries of these 22 gentlemen who has not received their salaries for nearly 4 months,' said Leon Donald.

'We will give 14 days for the security company to pay the employees salaries in full as they are in hardship as they have families to feed & bills to pay, failing that, we will seek other avenues,' Leon added.

'This is why we need education autonomy in our state where it involves not only the standard  of education but also the State management of schools where security contracts such as this should never be awarded to Malayan Companies as they will never understand the needs and the situation on the  ground & in the case of problems such as this; it is so hard to find these companies as they are based in Malaya, the awarding of small local contracts to Malayan companies must end,' said Leon Jimat Donald DAP Sarawak Vice Chairman.
