TAWAU, July 28 — Sabah is likely to face an acute labour shortage in the next two years if the outflow of Sabahans seeking jobs abroad continues unabated while more foreign workers are returning to their home countries.

He said Sabah also relies on foreign workers in industries like plantation, construction, restaurant and agricultural sectors, and according to Immigration Department data, there are more than 135,000 non-resident workers in Sabah, of which more than 50 per cent are Indonesians. “Related parties need to look at the matter in order to find an alternative or exit policy to overcome and resolve the issue,” he said when speaking at the 2022 Sabah Labour Convention here today.
