State Investment, Entrepreneur Development, Cooperative and Human Resource Committee chairman Mohd Izhar Ahmad said this was following talks held by the Johor and Singapore governments as well as several employers, the majority of whom owned major industries in the island republic. “So, I feel that the problem involving them does not exist anymore as we have made efforts to resolve it,” he told reporters at a Social Security Organisation programme to hand over aid to family in Taman Impian Emas here today.

He said that apart from this, they would also prepare a post-Covid-19 programme, including job-matching and short-term skills courses, to assist those who have become unemployed to get new jobs or upgrade their skills.
