IPOH: Malaysia risks facing a declining pool of local engineers as low wages continue to deter young talent and push graduates to seek better opportunities abroad, says Perak Real Estate and Housing Developers’ Association (Rehda).
Its chairman, Loh Ban Ho, said the trend mirrors what has already happened in sectors such as construction, plantations and manufacturing, where Malaysians have moved on to higher-paying jobs while foreign workers increasingly fill lower-paying roles.
