It is not materialized yet. The proposal from Ministry of Women, Family and Community Development Ministry under Datuk Seri Shahrizat Abdul Jalil to push to increase the current 60-days paid maternity leave to 84 days is temporarily on hold: Read :thestar Longer Maternity Plan On Hold and my previous post: Hooray to 84 days maternity leave
The reason being the "objection" of certain ministries which claim that the extended leave affect productivity, our economy and cause some inconviences to certain sectors? Datuk Sharizat announced that her ministry will submit a revised proposal but no date and details were given.
Let’s just keep our fingers crossed.
