KUALA LUMPUR: Hong Leong Bank Bhd, which is suffering another round of allegations from its union amid an ongoing trade dispute, refuted claims that it has barred its Muslim employees from praying. 

“Hong Leong Bank categorically affirms that it is respectful of all religious practices. The bank respects the religious beliefs of all its employees and is supportive of their freedom to practice their faith,” the bank said in a statement yesterday.

“The allegations against the bank that it didn’t allow some NUBE (National Union of Banking Employees) members to pray at the Kelantan and Kuantan branches’ prayer room (surau) is a gross distortion of facts.

“The bank would like to state that these NUBE members were not staff of the particular branches and, accordingly, could not be allowed access into the secured area [containing the main vault]where the surau is also located.”

It added it is the standard security policy of any financial institution that no one except the staff of that branch is allowed access to its secured area.

The bank noted it is currently involved in a trade dispute with NUBE, which has been referred by the Minister of Human Resources to the Industrial Court.

“The recent spate of allegations by NUBE against the bank should be viewed in that light,” it said.
