All construction companies are reminded not to be ‘selective’ and to prioritise local skilled labour when hiring workers in the sector, said Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.
Ahmad Zahid, who is also the Minister of Rural and Regional Development, said the government will incur long-term losses if the construction sector continues to rely on foreign workers. “Housing developers, contractors and sub-contractors should not be selective in hiring workers in the construction sector.
“Yes, the cost might be lower if foreign workers are hired, but in the long term, the cost borne by the country and the cost to GDP will be detrimental to the country. Therefore, in this context, I believe that the proactive measures taken by ABM and CIDB Technologies should receive support from the government,“ he said.
He said this when speaking at the launch of the slogan ‘CIDB Peneraju TVET Pembinaan’ in conjunction with the 2024 Graduation Ceremony of the Malaysian Construction Academy & CIDB Technologies here today.Court set Sept 4 to decide on Adam Radlan’s representation over 12 charges
