KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia needs to come up with a comprehensive strategy to address the mismatch between supply and demand in the employment market brought on by the impact of Covid-19, says Khazanah Research Institute (KRI) chairman Tan Sri Nor Mohamed Yakcop (pic).

He noted that the Covid-19 pandemic had led to an unexpected windfall for businesses such as in food and beverage, e-commerce, logistics and delivery services, cleaning and disinfection services and digital technology as well as Internet and communications – sectors which saw a substantial increase in business transactions.
