Manpower for Industries

1. Malaysia's Labour Force

Malaysia offers the investor a diligent, disciplined, educated and trainable labour force. Malaysian youths who enter the labour market would have undergone at least 11 years of school education i.e. up to secondary school level, and are therefore easy to be trained in new skills.

To cater to the manufacturing sector's expanding demand for technically trained workers, the Malaysian government has taken measures to increase the number of engineers, technicians and other skilled personnel graduating each year from local as well as foreign universities, colleges, and technical and industrial training institutions.

In addition, Malaysia enjoys a free and competitive labour market where employer-employee relationship is cordial and harmonious. Labour costs in Malaysia are relatively low while productivity levels remain high in comparison with industrialised countries.
