Eleven employees at the Fenaka Corporation branch in ADh. Mahibadhoo have been dismissed from their positions without any prior notice.

The Mahibadhoo Island Council and former Vice President Faisal Naseem have expressed concern over this decision.

In a statement, the Mahibadhoo Island Council expressed its profound concern and regret over the decision to terminate the employees without any prior notice. The council further highlighted that the sudden loss of employment would lead to significant hardships and financial instability for the affected individuals and their families.

The Council has called for such measures to be implemented fairly and in accordance with the Maldives Employment Act and existing labor regulations. Furthermore, the Council has urged all relevant authorities to reinstate the employees who were dismissed from their positions.

In a post on X regarding the matter, former Vice President Faisal Naseem stated that the Employment Act clearly outlines the rights of workers and the mechanisms to protect those rights.

Furthermore, Faisal emphasized that no actions should be taken to deprive employees of their rights or subject them to mistreatment, particularly based on their specific political affiliations. He added that the legal protections afforded to employees must be acknowledged and respected.
