Business circle unfazed by Jakarta’s move

THE business and industry circles are unfazed by Indonesia’s temporary halt to send its workers overseas, with most trade leaders saying that the move will have only a minimal impact on the Malaysian economy. 

According to Sin Chew Daily, local business and industry bosses said the Indonesian government’s move was unlikely to cause a labour shortage in Malaysia as the country could easily turn to countries like Vietnam, Cambodia, Myanmar and Laos for workers.
