Hire more Malaysians to cope with increasing product demand, rubber glove makers told

JOHOR BARU: The country's leading rubber glove makers have been urged to reduce their dependence on foreign labour and hire more Malaysians, given their need to expand the workforce to cope with increasing demand.

“To cope with the demand for made-in-Malaysia rubber gloves, which is on an upward trend, the industry needs an additional 25,000 workers," said Umno vice-president Datuk Seri Mohamed Khaled Nordin.
