Groups say the government should not control foreign workers approvals as this could lead to labour shortage that would reduce productivity.
Johor Master Builders Association president Kong Weng Keong said the government should not control foreign workers approvals as this could lead to labour shortage that would reduce productivity and bring negative economic consequences.
He added that controlling the approval of foreign workers would also lead to an increase in bureaucracy, inefficiencies and frustration for employers that could potentially hinder their operations. “In the post-pandemic era now, many industries and businesses are in a rush to speed up their business output. In Johor, we have seen many new industrial projects with higher project values and shorter construction schedules.
Malaysia Federation of Vegetable Farmers Association president Lim Ser Kwee said that while the labour shortage issue has eased somewhat for now, there is no guarantee that the situation will remain the same in the long run.
