A Myanmar national, Maung San Yu, who was legally employed at a steel casting factory in Hwaseong City, Gyeonggi Province, Republic of Korea, suffered a workplace accident on 24 March and later passed away while receiving medical treatment at a hospital.
The
Myanmar Embassy in Seoul assisted the family of the deceased by facilitating
timely visa arrangements so they could travel to Korea to hold the funeral. The
embassy also worked in coordination with the E9 Friends Law Firm company, which
officially signed with the labour attaché, the Ministry of Labour, to ensure
that all entitled rights and benefits were fully obtained. Embassy staff, along
with personnel from the military attaché office, also attended the funeral
and provided necessary assistance.
During
the family’s stay in Korea, the labour attaché from the Myanmar Embassy
in Seoul supported them with travel and accommodation arrangements, opening a
temporary bank account, handling necessary documentation, and coordinating with
relevant organizations to secure all entitled benefits.
As
a result of these efforts, the deceased’s wife was able to fully receive all
due entitlements, including service pay, unpaid wages, overtime pay, leave
compensation, workplace injury insurance, funeral support funds, and
employer-provided compensation, and arrangements were made to ensure legal fees
were kept at a minimum rate.
The
Myanmar Embassy in Seoul assists and protects the interests of Myanmar
nationals in Korea, including those legally employed, in accordance with the
laws of both countries.
