Bosses willing to pay RM10k for three-year levy


PETALING JAYA: Industries will be more receptive to a government levy of RM10,000 for three years instead of paying it annually so that employers can maintain skilled foreign workers and groom new skilled workers at the same time, says the Federation of Malay­­sian Manufacturers.

Its president Datuk Soh Thian Lai said the annual levy of RM10,000 was too high for employers.
