Preparing the workforce for the future


TODAY is International Workers’ Day. It is the 45th time we are celebrating this auspicious day (better known in the country as Labour Day) since Malaysia began in 1972 to ob­serve May 1 as a public holiday. Today, 14 million of our wor­kers and 4.5 billion others in the rest of the world will be reminded of their contributions to the economic well-being of 222 countries and territories.

Workers are changing the destiny of nations and are helping to redefine the global economy.
