MALACCA will employ Unified Examination Certificate (UEC) holders as stated in the Pakatan Harapan (PH) manifesto.

Chief Minister Adly Zahari said the UEC issued by Chinese independent schools was recognised by the PH government and its holders could apply for employment in the state’s civil service.

“We can accept UEC holders as the resolution has been made in PH and we will do our best to implement it at state level,” he told reporters after the Malacca government monthly assembly, today. 

Meanwhile, Adly said the state government would hold talks with the relevant parties regarding allegations that the Melaka Gateway marine reclamation project was not in compliance with the resolutions and recommendations of the 1998 MACRO-EIA report.

“We have to take into account the interests of the people and I am sure there is a solution,” he said when asked to comment on calls from Portuguese Village residents and fishermen in the region to stop the Melaka Gateway project immediately for alleged non-compliance with regulations.

On flood mitigation, Adly said the state government had allocated about RM132 million for flood mitigation projects for Jasin, Melaka Tengah and Alor Gajah, which were expected to start early next year. – Bernama, July 2, 2018.
