Malaysia is accelerating labour reform with the rollout of mobile labour courts and digital transformation initiatives designed to make labour justice more accessible and efficient.

Led by Ramanan Ramakrishnan and Ministry of Human Resources Malaysia (KESUMA), the reforms prioritise access to justice for workers and employers, particularly in rural and hinterland areas, while strengthening service delivery, transparency, and industrial harmony.

These measures reflect a broader shift towards a modern, technology enabled labour ecosystem that supports fair employment practices and ease of doing business in Malaysia.

The workplace is changing fast, and by 2026, technical knowledge alone will not be enough.

The most in-demand professionals will be those who can think critically, adapt quickly, communicate effectively, leverage digital tools, and connect their roles to real business impact.

These competencies are no longer nice to have.
They are essential for staying relevant, confident, and future ready.

At PM Resources, we believe continuous learning is the key to building these skills, not just in theory, but through practical, real world application.

💡 The question is no longer whether you need to upskill, but how prepared you are for what comes next.

Many job descriptions are failing in 2026, not because the roles are unclear, but because they focus on tasks instead of outcomes.

Long lists of responsibilities and generic requirements may attract applicants, but they often attract the wrong ones. Today’s candidates are looking for clarity on expectations, impact, growth, and how their role contributes to the business.

When job descriptions are outcome-driven rather than task-heavy, organisations see better quality candidates, stronger role fit, and higher retention.

This is where strategic Talent Acquisition matters. Hiring is not about filling a role quickly, but about defining the role correctly from the start.

At PM Resources, we help organisations reframe roles, align expectations, and attract talent that truly fits.

The Gig Workers Act 2025 [Act 872] has been officially gazetted, marking an important step in strengthening Malaysia’s labour legal framework for the gig economy.

The Act will only take effect on a future date to be announced by the Ministry of Human Resources Malaysia, and is not yet enforceable.

This is an early signal for businesses and platforms engaging gig workers to begin reviewing contracts, structures and compliance readiness.

PM Resources will continue to monitor updates and share practical guidance as implementation details are announced.

Many salaried workers have been surprised to receive CP500 tax instalment notices from LHDN, even though they only have monthly income with PCB deducted by their employer. This is highlighting how incorrect tax categorisation or misreporting of income can trigger unnecessary tax notices and additional costs for employees.

✔️ When payroll or bonuses are incorrectly processed internally, it can lead to:
•⁠ ⁠CP500 notices being issued erroneously
•⁠ ⁠Employees having to deal with revisions, penalties
•⁠ ⁠Strained employer-employee communication

Why this matters to businesses:
Payroll isn’t just paying salaries, it directly affects tax compliance and liabilities. One small error in calculation or reporting can trigger unexpected tax obligations for your employees.

💡 Outsource payroll to experts like PM Resources
With professional payroll services:
•⁠ ⁠Complex tax treatment (PCB, CP500, bonuses, allowances) is handled correctly
•⁠ ⁠Errors are minimised — reducing risk of surprises, penalties and HR headaches
•⁠ ⁠Your internal team stays focused on growth, not tax computation

Let us help you get payroll right, the first time.

Hiring is not about how many resumes you receive.
It is about finding the right person.

At PM Resources, we take a quality-first approach to Talent Acquisition. We interview and assess candidates upfront, ensuring role fit, culture fit, and expectations are aligned before presenting them to our clients. In most cases, we send only 2 to 3 carefully shortlisted candidates, and clients successfully hire one strong fit.

Many recruitment processes focus on quantity, forwarding dozens or even hundreds of resumes without proper screening. This often leads to wasted time, decision fatigue, and ultimately, no hire at all.

We believe hiring should be efficient, focused, and confident.
Because the right hire matters more than the number of resumes.

We are resharing this official notice from Jabatan Tenaga Kerja Semenanjung Malaysia regarding Hari Thaipusam and Hari Wilayah Persekutuan on 1 February 2026.

Key points for employers to note:
•⁠ ⁠Hari Wilayah Persekutuan is a mandatory public holiday for private sector employers in Kuala Lumpur, Putrajaya and Labuan and cannot be replaced
•⁠ ⁠As it falls on a Sunday, employers who observe Sunday as the weekly rest day must provide a replacement holiday on Monday
•⁠ ⁠If Hari Thaipusam is chosen as one of the six selected public holidays, a replacement holiday on Tuesday must be given due to the overlap
•⁠ ⁠Employees required to work on a public holiday must be paid according to Section 60D(3) of the Employment Act 1955

Employers are encouraged to plan work schedules and payroll arrangements early to ensure full compliance.

If you need guidance on public holiday entitlements, payroll calculations or Employment Act compliance, PM Resources is here to support.

1. Kerajaan Persekutuan telah mewartakan hari kelepasan am bagi tahun 2026 iaitu Hari Thaipusam dan Hari Wilayah Persekutuan pada 1 Februari 2026.

2. Cuti Hari Wilayah Persekutuan adalah cuti yang wajib diberikan oleh majikan sektor swasta yang berada di Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur, Putrajaya dan Labuan kepada pekerja sebagaimana peruntukan seksyen 60D(1)(a)(iii) Akta Kerja 1955 [Akta 265] dan tidak boleh diganti. Memandangkan Cuti Hari Wilayah Persekutuan jatuh pada hari Ahad, maka majikan yang menetapkan hari Ahad sebagai rehat mingguan pekerja hendaklah memberi cuti gantian pada hari bekerja berikutnya (Isnin).

3. Selanjutnya, majikan yang memilih cuti perayaan Hari Thaipusam sebagai baki enam hari kelepasan am yang dipilih sebagaimana subseksyen 60D(1)(a) Akta 265, perlu memberi cuti gantian pada hari bekerja berikutnya (Selasa) memandangkan terdapat pertindihan kedua-dua hari kelepasan am ini. Majikan juga boleh memberikan pekerja mana-mana hari lain sebagai hari kelepasan berbayar sebagai ganti dengan persetujuan pekerja sebagaimana seksyen 60D(1A).

4. Pekerja yang diarah bekerja pada hari kelepasan am layak menerima kadar gaji bagi cuti am seperti yang ditetapkan dalam seksyen 60D(3).

Malaysia 2026: Enforcement Is Coming. Are You Ready?

From 1 January 2026, Malaysia moves beyond policy announcements into real enforcement.

E-invoicing expansion, tighter SST audits, stamp duty self assessment, foreign worker levy changes, carbon tax preparation and more — these are not future plans anymore. They will directly impact costs, compliance and operations.

For businesses, the key risk in 2026 is not just higher costs, but unprepared systems, weak documentation and delayed action.

Now is the time to
•⁠ ⁠review internal processes
•⁠ ⁠strengthen compliance controls
•⁠ ⁠prepare teams and systems early

PM Resources works with organisations to stay ahead of regulatory changes and minimise compliance risk.

If you are unsure how these changes affect your business, let’s talk.
