Thanking the Union for their diligence and dedication, Encik Pandai also expressed his hopes that they continue to closely work hand-in-hand with the Management, to further ensure a harmonious working environment and work together to fulfill the MMHE’s business aspirations.

“Our workers are our backbone – the essence of the Company. From day one, their wellbeing and welfare have been our main priority and will always be,” he reiterated.
