KUALA LUMPUR: The Federation of Malaysian Manufacturers (FMM) has expressed concern over the government’s plan to “export” skilled Malaysians to Japan, contending that the focus should be on efforts to shore up adequate local supply instead.

President Tan Sri Soh Thian Lai said as there was no prior consultations or details made available on this potential skill export to Japan, the federation hoped more information on the memorandum of collaboration (MoC) by the Human Resources Ministry could be shared so that the industry would be clear on how the MoC might work.
