KUALA LUMPUR, July 17 — The Malaysia Semiconductor Industry Association is fully supportive of the decision by the government to defer the condition that at least 80 per cent of companies’ workforce must be Malaysians.
In a statement today, MSIA president Datuk Seri Wong Siew Hai said that E&E companies in Malaysia prefer to hire Malaysians rather than foreign workers, but there is an insufficient supply of suitable or industry- ready workers in Malaysia, despite the recent increase in minimum wage. “Currently, the E&E industry is encouraging SPM leavers to join its Academy in Factory programme, whereby they undergo on-the-job training for 18 months and then given a technician certificate after successfully completing the training,” he shared.
These investments by E&E companies in Malaysia signified that there is still a strong demand for semiconductors globally, with supply not meeting demand.
