MEF foresees difficulties in filling jobs

More need for locals: Foreign barbers will not be seen in the country in the near future, according to Muhyiddin.

PETALING JAYA: The Malaysian Employers Federation (MEF) is of the view that there will be difficulties in filling manpower needs following the government’s move to stop the recruiting of foreign workers for certain service sub-sectors.

Its executive director Datuk Shamsuddin Bardan said he was surprised by the announcement as there was no prior discussion with the stakeholders, especially the affected employers.
