Manpower shortage has been a problem since Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad cut reliance on cheap foreign labour. FMTNews

Malaysian Rubber Glove Manufacturers Association has cut the output target by 3.6% this year.

That’s forced the group to cut its output target for this year by 3.6% to 188 billion pieces of gloves. The country has been facing manpower issues since Mahathir Mohamad was elected prime minister last year on a platform of cutting the economy’s reliance on cheap, foreign labour. The government has been imposing stricter labour requirements and has cracked down on foreign workers without permits.

Hire local, give them proper wages.

These glove companies make millions in profits, yet they insist on foreign labour whom they pay peanuts. If they pay better, perhaps locals will work for them, and reducing reliance on foreign labour.

Shortage of social workers among social problem challenges - Wan AzizahPARLIAMENT |  The social worker-population ratio in Malaysia was 1: 8,576 people, she says. 100% right but I think they have to attain social work. If society as a whole is bent on money and hedonism as a symbol of prosperity, obviously social justice will be a no-priority. Shift the focus of ‘status’ as being a useful ‘we-centred’ citizen. Maybe social work will gain dignity then?
