KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian Association for Training Providers (Matpro) has raised strong objections to the government’s plan to channel RM2bil from the Human Resources Development (HRD) levy towards subsidising graduate salaries.
The proposal, announced this week, aims to encourage the hiring of local graduates. While Matpro acknowledged the initiative’s good intentions, it warned that diverting levy funds away from training risks undermining the levy’s original purpose.
