Manufacturers asks for govt support to boost talent poolManufacturers have called for government support to address talent drain by allowing skilled foreign workers to be brought in while locals are trained.
Relying solely on local training would not be enough, said Christina Tee Kim Chin, president of the Malaysian International Chamber of Commerce and Industry (MICCI). The industry could not wait for enough talents to be trained, requiring state intervention to import and upskill talents, she noted.
