Casting a wider net for new workers

PETALING JAYA: With the ongoing labour recalibration exercise nearing its end, various sectors are taking proactive measures such as looking into alternative labour sources and automation.

Federation of Vegetable Farmers Associations president Lim Ser Kwee said it was looking at other source countries for farm hands.“Most of our workers come from Nepal, but we are starting to look at other labour source nations such as Indonesia,” he said when contacted yesterday.
