: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has urged companies to consider giving a reasonable sum of allowance to interns to help cover their daily expenses.
“We understand that internship is not a regular job but just an opportunity for early exposure to work but still we should give some allowance to cover transport and food expenditure. He said this at a ceremony to launch the Capital Market Graduate Programme of the Securities Commission Malaysia here today. Also present was Higher Education Minister Datuk Seri Mohamed Khaled Nordin.
He said CMGP is in line with the MADANI aspiration as it provides opportunities for enhancing skills and knowledge in the capital markets among young graduates.
