Articles 4, 8, paragraph 2, and 13, paragraph 1, of the Convention. With reference to its previous comments, the Committee notes from the Government's report that the intended amendments have not yet been made either to the Labour Ordinance (Chapter 67) Sabah or to the Labour Ordinance (Chapter 76) Sarawak so as to bring them into line with the Employment Act, 1955, but that action is being taken for the amendment of the Labour Ordinance Sarawak, including consultation with the employers' and workers' representatives.

Recalling that such amendments have been expected for many years, the Committee can only reiterate the hope that these amendments will soon be made in order to ensure the application of the above-mentioned Articles of the Convention in these regions and requests the Government to continue supplying information on any progress made.
