KUALA LUMPUR: All construction companies are reminded not to be"selective" and to prioritise local skilled labour when hiring workers in the sector, says Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.
The Deputy Prime Minister, who is also Rural and Regional Development Minister, said the government will incur long-term losses if the construction sector continues to rely on foreign workers. "Housing developers, contractors, and sub-contractors should not be selective in hiring workers in the construction sector.
"Yes, the cost might be lower if foreign workers are hired, but in the long term, the cost borne by the country and the cost to GDP will be detrimental. Therefore, in this context, I believe that the proactive measures taken by ABM and CIDB Technologies should receive support from the government," he said.
He said this when speaking at the launch of the slogan"CIDB Peneraju TVET Pembinaan" in conjunction with the 2024 Graduation Ceremony of the Malaysian Construction Academy & CIDB Technologies on Tuesday . - BernamaAdam Radlan's graft trial put off pending AGC decision on representation
