IN February 2017, Human Resources Minister Datuk Seri Richard Riot Jaem said that a total of 37,699 workers lost their jobs last year, of which 39.4% was via the voluntary separation scheme (VSS) while the rest of the 60.6% were laid off.

In view of the urgent need to increase workforce employability, the Human Resources Development Fund (HRDF), with the support of the Ministry of Human Resources (MoHR), is continuing its efforts to drive effective implementation of various productivity-enhancing programmes for employees.
