KUALA LUMPUR: Companies providing upskilling and reskilling programmes must provide employment after the training course for workers who are affected by the Covid-19 pandemic, suggests senior Umno lawmaker Datuk Seri Mahdzir Khalid.

The Padang Terap MP lauded the allocation under Budget 2021 for the upskilling and reskilling programmes, but believed that the initiative should also be supported by government linked companies and government linked investment companies .

"Most importantly, any group can do reskilling and upskilling, but make it mandatory for them to have an agreement with the relevant sectors in order for them to provide jobs after that," he said while debating the 2021 Supply Bill at the policy stage on Monday ."Company A and Company B have 30 workers each, they can sign an agreement between the Human Resources Ministry and the company for reskilling.

"During this hard time, we can still help to improve the numbers of those who will be employed," he added. Finance Minister Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Tengku Abdul Aziz, when tabling the 2021 Budget in the Dewan Rakyat on Friday , said that the government would extend the implementation of the wage subsidy programme for another three months with a more targeted approach.
