KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 25 — The Federation of Malaysian Manufacturers opined that it is critical and expeditious for Malaysia to have a foreign worker recruitment policy based on a system that supports sector- and company-demand based requirements in order to accelerate business and economic recovery.
The statement, signed off by president Tan Sri Soh Thian Lai, said FMM had previously indicated that in order for industries — especially export-based companies — to return to pre-pandemic level, the general skill labour conditions this year must have more than a 600,000-strong foreign labour workforce.
We urge the concerned authorities to put their act together to resolve, facilitate and approve the importation of foreign workers urgently, Soh said.
