Edmund Bon says these laws, which the country is bound by, also make it difficult for locals to seek legal recourse.
Rights lawyer Edmund Bon says the country’s existing immunity laws impinge on a person’s constitutional rights to livelihood and equal access to justice.
Such immunity not only allows for the dismissal of Malaysian employees, referred to as “locally engaged staff” or LES, but makes it difficult for them to seek legal recourse if they have been unfairly terminated, he said. So, if a local employee were to challenge a dismissal in a Malaysian court, does the court follow the common law, which is premised on precedent cases, or statute law, Bon asked.
And if local employees want to sue the embassy, and the court finds that the embassy has immunity here, then the suit cannot be taken out in Malaysia, he said.
