Code which spells out the meaning of sexual harassment has been drawn up by the Ministry of Human Resources, which recommends method of dealing with this issue as far as Malaysia is concerned. The Ministry hopes that the management in all companies will introduce the code in the workforce so that men may show respect to the women in the work place and to prevent this offence from happening. The way to prevent this crime is to create awareness among all levels of personnel about its serious implication and the resultant punishment an offender will face.
The Code is only a recommendation by the Ministry of Human Resources to companies in Malaysia. It has no force of law, so it is not compulsory for companies to implement it. According to research done some companies in Malaysia have adopted the Code but each company has its own way of dealing with the matter.
