Low OSH compliance among SMEs a serious concern – Lee KUALA LUMPUR: Low compliance with occupational safety and health (OSH) standards among industries, especially small and medium enterprises (SMEs), continues to be a serious concern and requires urgent action, said Chairman of the Safe Communities Association Tan Sri Lee Lam Thye. Lee said workplace safety should not be considered an option as every worker has the right to return home safely and poor OSH compliance exposes workers to preventable accidents and deaths as well as affecting business performance. “Every employee has the fundamental right to return home safely at the end of the day and employers have a legal and […]

A newspaper clipping of a letter to the editor in the Huddersfield Daily Examiner dated Saturday, March 28, 2026. The headline reads "Selective facts of Brexit fans". Written by Peter Brown of Cleckheaton, the letter systematically dismantles a Conservative Home article. It explains that while Brexit supporters claim rejoining the EU would cost £31 billion gross, they ignore the OBR data showing a £100 billion annual hit to the UK economy, £40 billion in lost tax revenues, and £12 billion in new red tape for UK firms. It compares the massive economic damage of Brexit to the microscopic 0.17% GDP boost from new trade deals, concluding that being outside the EU is proving costly with pains but no gains.

Don't swallow #Brexit "poison pill" arguments, says #Yorkshire #Huddersfield examinerlive.co.uk letter. 👇

Leaving #EuropeanUnion left £100bn/yr economic hole & £12bn red tape burden crushing UK firms.
