ACCCIM: Mindsets must change to boost skilled local construction labour


PETALING JAYA: The government's bid to boost local skilled labour in the construction sector to sustain the country's economy may not be feasible in the near future as such shift is fraught with many challenges, said Datuk Koong Lin Loong.

The Associated Chinese Chambers of Commerce and Industry of Malaysia (ACCCIM) treasurer-general said the change would not be possible in the short term as the construction industry is currently involved heavily in the development of various infrastructures in the country and are dependent on foreign workers.
