Nation’s economic boost at risk due to shortage of F&B workers


PETALING JAYA: Eateries are too short-staffed and desperate for workers to deal with the surge of Malaysians dining out again after three years of managing Covid-19.

According to the Statistics Department, the services sector played a significant role in driving the country’s economic recovery in the fourth quarter of 2022, with the F&B and accommodations sub-sector registering a 25.2% growth rate.
