PETALING JAYA, June 29 (Bernama) — The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted Malaysia’s economic growth and employment rates, with Department of Statistics Malaysia (DOSM) statistic indicating that the unemployment rate had spiked by 5 percent with 778,800 persons unemployed as at April 2020. The challenging economic conditions have directly led to an increased unemployment for both local and foreign workers.
In light of this, the Malaysia Productivity Corporation (MPC) is conducting a Public Consultation through the Unified Public Consultation (UPC) portal to seek the views of industry players, associations, interested parties and members of the public on the Proposed Recommendation on Employment to the Ministry of Human Resources (MOHR).
