Malaysia's Negeri Sembilan Prioritizes Local Workers, Reducing Reliance on Foreign Labor

Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia, is actively promoting local employment to reduce the reliance on foreign workers. The initiative, highlighted in a recent Berita RTM report, encourages employers to hire local workers, contributing to sustainable economic development. According to S. Veera Pan, Exco for Human Resources, this initiative is proving more effective than relying solely on foreign workers. The program has already placed 549 local workers in Negeri Sembilan, with 76 employers participating in job training programs.
