MEF: Worker shortage resulting in loss of billions in revenue

PETALING JAYA: Employers in multiple sectors are facing operational problems due to worker shortage, with some sectors facing loss of revenue of up to billions, says the Malaysian Employers Federation.

Its President Datuk Dr Syed Hussain Syed Husman (pic) said addressing the shortage of manpower was vital for the recovery of the industries, as the arrival of about 47,000 foreign workers was far below the shortage of 1.2 million workers faced by industries.
