Kenapa masalah ini berterusan berlaku, apakah kerana sistem pemantauan kita lemah? Shamsuddin: Bagi saya kategori pekerja asing ini pelbagai-bagai. Bagi pekerja yang ada permit jumlah mereka masih agak tinggi.

Persekutuan Majikan-Majikan Malaysia (MEF) menyifatkan kebanjiran terlalu ramai warga asing ke Malaysia berpunca daripada sikap tidak bertanggungjawab agensi pekerja asing yang membawa masuk mereka ke negara ini.

Over the last few months, there has been much discussion on the issue that Malaysia has been caught in the middle-income trap. In this article, I will discuss the rationale on why Malaysia has been caught in this dilemma.

Non governmental organisations Tenaganita and Malaysian Employers Federation (MEF) are hoping that the government will not only focus on the 40,000 Indian citizens "missing" after their tourist visas-on-arrival expired.

Konsep bekerja di rumah bukannya satu perkara baru didengari sebelum ini, namun selepas Kementerian Kerja Raya selaku badan kerajaan pertama melaksanakan sistem tersebut ia menjadi bualan sama ada perkara itu benar-benar mampu dilaksanakan atau tidak.

With the anticipated recovery this year, all companies will face an immediate "rush" to hire skilled ICT resources. While there will be a continued supply of graduates from local and foreign universities.

Consumer associations welcome the Government's plan to cap the amount of subsidised petrol a car owner can buy monthly. However, they called on the authorities to ensure that the new fuel pricing mechanism would not complicate or confuse consumers.

Shamsuddin Bardan said the unemployment level this year would still be below 4%. He believed the challenge would come from the creation of quality jobs for graduates and those in the management and executive levels.

Kerajaan diminta mempertingkatkan kawalan dan penguatkuasaan bagi menangani masalah kebanjiran warga India yang bekerja secara tidak sah di negara ini.

Kebergantungan negara kepada pekerja asing dalam sektor tertentu, pada hakikatnya boleh diatasi jika ada perancangan komprehensif dan insentif menarik ditawarkan bagi memancing minat lebih ramai rakyat tempatan untuk menceburi bidang pekerjaan.

Industries in Malaysia will benefit from work from-home programmes, said Malaysian Employers Federation executive director Shamsuddin Bardan.

Family responsibilities and raising children are keeping women away from the country's workforce. So say both management and labour.

Shamsuddin Bardan said employers would continue to remain cautious when it came to salaries and benefits. Next year would be quite challenging as many private sector companies would still be wary of the economic recovery, he added.

The quantum of salary increment next year is expected to be lower compared to this year, the Malaysian Employment Federation (MEF) revealed in a survey report yesterday.

Malaysian employers will be less generous with their salary increments and bonuses next year, according to a survey by the Malaysian Employers Federation (MEF).
