KUALA LUMPUR: The widening mismatch between the number of graduates produced in Malaysia and the jobs available for them is a concern, says MCA deputy presi­dent Datuk Dr Mah Hang Soon.

He cited Bank Negara statistics which showed that around 260,000 fresh graduates enter the job market each year, with a simi­lar figure recorded between 2022 and 2023.
