(2) Subject to this section, the employer of any person referred to in subsection (1) or where such person is self-employed he himself may apply in the prescribed manner to the proper authority for a postponement certificate on behalf of his employee or of himself, as the case may be, on the ground that it is necessary or expedient in the public interest or in the interests of defence or the efficient prosecution of any war in which the Yang di-Pertuan Agong may be engaged that such employee or he, as the case may be, should not be so called up and may, on that ground, apply in the prescribed manner to the proper authority for the renewal of any postponement certificate granted in the manner aforesaid.

Provided that in any proceedings under this subsection it shall be a defence for the employer to prove that the person formerly employed by him did not, before the expiration of one month after the termination of such service or employment as aforesaid, apply 31National Service

(3) In relation to any person so called up for national service from his civil employment references in this section to an employer shall be construed as including references to any person for the time being carrying on the undertaking or service in which he was employed when so called up as aforesaid, or carrying on any undertaking or service with which that undertaking or service has been amalgamated or in which it was comprised on the date on which he was so called up or directed as aforesaid. (4) If the Yang di-Pertuan Agong is satisfied that it is necessary to restrain employers from terminating the employment of their employees by reason of any duties or liabilities which they are or may become liable to perform or discharge by reason of their having been called up for national service from their civil employment or to make provision for the prevention of evasion of this section, he may make rules for those purposes, and such rules may make 32 Laws of Malaysia ACT 425

provision for the punishment of breaches of the rules, and may in particular apply with respect to persons found guilty of such breaches any of the provisions of this section relating to persons found guilty of offences under this section, with or without modifications.

(2) If in any proceedings under this section the Court is of opinion that there is reasonable cause to believe that the duties or liabilities aforesaid caused or contributed to the termination of the employment, the employment shall be deemed to have been terminated by reason of those duties or liabilities unless the employer proves that the termination was for a reason unconnected therewith. 33National Service

(3) For the purposes of this section any person liable to be called out--

(a) under section 202 of the Armed Forces Act 1972; (b) under section 55 of the Police Act 1967; or
