KUCHING (Bernama): Almost RM5bil flows out of the country every year by foreign workers working in the country's construction sector remitting the money home.

Malaysian Construction Industry Development Authority chief executive Datuk Ir Ahmad Asri Abdul Hamid said there were currently 420,000 foreign workers in the sector who were registered with the Malaysian Immigration Department.

A first for Sarawak, the programme was officiated by Works Minister Baru Bian who urged the nation's youth to venture into the construction field which he said was moving towards the Fourth Industrial Revolution . The minister also cited his recent visit to a factory in Banting where its employees were working in air-conditioned premises, adding that young people should know that the construction industry was not just about the 3Ds and was changing over time.
