borneobulletin.com.bnDoes failure to provide leave on public holidays applicable to foreign workers?

Either day of lieu or double time, check employment order 2009

From what I know, no lieu, no double time and no leave.

Employment Order 2009 has some expectations, notably seamen, domestic workers, high-level executives and government workers. Other than that, if you know foreign workers not being afforded leave, overtime or in-lieus, a report can be made to the labour department.
It is not just for the foreign worker's benefit. If companies feel like they can exploit foreigners because they are willing to take on extra workdays with no extra compensation, then it is likely they would be hiring foreigners more, hence the necessity for the enforcement of this policy.
Whether or not people feel that this encourages the local workforce to be 'lazy' is a different discussion.

Employer in hot water after host of labour offences
^(November 6, 2023)
An employer was found to have committed a number of labour offences during an inspection by the Labour Department recently.
Authorities said that the inspection in Kampong Bunut found the employer violating seven provisions under the Employment Order 2009, including failure to provide leave on public holidays and rest days while also having employees exceed prescribed working hours.
Authorities also said the employer failed to provide emergency equipment and was employing foreign workers without permission.
The department said the employer was found to be violating the terms of the Foreign Workers Licence when they had one listed as an auto body painter and another as a labourer work as car washers.
Meanwhile, in Kuala Belait, Labour Department officials found one violation of the Employment Order 2009 after an employer was discovered to be employing a foreign worker listed as a labourer to work as a cashier.
Authorities said the offences may be subject to fines of no more than BND1,000 for each offence.
The Labour Department reminds employers to monitor employee welfare in accordance with the requirements of the law. Employers are also advised to not misuse the Foreign Workers Licence. – Azlan Othman

Check your contract, also check the contract the employer had to sign for them to get LD. Usually there is a contract endorsed by your embassy. Ask for their support or call labour enforcement about it.

Why certain companies (foreigner owned) can get LD for accountant, receptionist, sales assistant and driver?
But Local Owned company (sole-prop) were told these position must be for local only?
i.e Sunlit almost 99% foreigner staff. Why? Local cant do sales? Local dont have driving license to be driver? Even their receptionist is foreigner.
Intracorp 99% foreigner from sales to office to technician. Also linked to JT
EzyPrinting, the Malaysian Dato, always boost about his company being efficient hence got almost all the governmeny printing contracts. They are 90% foreigner staff. Compared to PrintPlus 100% local. How can Printplus compete with them. Also JT linked company.
Aewon, Yes also JT linked company, 99% foreigner staffed. Why?
Aifa Company, Malaysian boss also an expert in setting offshore companies in Labuan and close ties with "special group" in East Malaysia, has 90% foreigner and despite being a foreigner owned company, they managed to get DARE TOL land again and again. And YES! aifa is 2nd in line to JT
Maybe they already fed up with locals? As in local come and go as they wish
The issue is not about Local workforce being reliable or not. As every company is facing the same problem.
What im highlighting here is, same problem faced by everyone, why these Malaysian are allowed to get LD for foreigners when local owned companies are denied even just one LD for a driver or accountant?
Should be made available to all. Not just deep pocket Malaysian who willing to kopi kopi
