KOTA KINABALU: The Sabah Immigration Officers Service Union (KPPIS) paid a courtesy visit to the Sabah Law Society (SLS) to strengthen cooperation and seek legal guidance on workers’ rights within the public sector.

The KPPIS delegation, led by its President Azizah S Ahmad, was received by SLS President Datuk Mohamed Nazim Maduarin and members of its executive committee.

Azizah said the meeting focused on strengthening strategic ties and building a sustainable partnership between both parties, while also serving as a platform to exchange views on service-related issues, legal compliance and shared interests.

“We sought professional legal advice, particularly on matters involving the rights and protection of government employees, while also exploring ways to strengthen collaboration between both organisations,” she said.

She added that the union hopes to establish an effective information-sharing network to enhance understanding between the Immigration Department’s operational scope and the legal expertise of SLS.

Azizah also expressed appreciation to SLS for its openness and support, describing the initiative as a step towards building stronger legal backing for Sabah’s immigration officers in facing future challenges.
