THE Sarawak Oil Palm Plantation Owners Association (SOPPOA) concurs with the recent statement made by the Malaysian Palm Oil Association (MPOA) that despite good wages being offered, locals still shun the opportunity to be employed in the palm oil industry in Malaysia.

Hence, the industry has no option but to resort to hiring foreign workers willing to work in what locals consider 3D jobs, ie, dirty, difficult, dangerous.
