KUALA LUMPUR, November 18 — The Malaysian government’s budget for the current year has embraced the MADANI vision, with substantial investments directed towards digitalization and talent development. In response, PERSOLKELLY, a leader in workforce solutions, has applauded the government’s commitment to training and upskilling local talent to address the demands of a technology-driven workforce, including the integration of artificial intelligence. The government’s dedication to upskilling local talent aligns with PERSOLKELLY’s own mission.
The company collaborates with local organizations and government agencies to nurture local talent and bridge the skills gap. The allocation of RM1.6 billion to HRD Corp for upskilling and reskilling local talent, including SME owners and vulnerable segments of society, is seen as a pivotal step towards ensuring equity in the future work landscape. PERSOLKELLY also commends the government’s endorsement and continuation of programs like MySTEP and its focus on skill enhancement through MyFutureJobs.
These initiatives are in alignment with PERSOLKELLY’s commitment to empowering the workforce with essential skills to build the high-value economy envisioned in the budget. As Malaysia strives to secure its position as a high-income nation, the need for reviewing salaries and income to meet contemporary demands and trends has become apparent. The government’s promise to review minimum wages and enhance policies to promote wage growth is highly anticipated.
PERSOLKELLY looks forward to hearing more details from the government about the implementation of these measures for the benefit of the Malaysian people and organizations. Looking ahead, the measures taken by the government to boost local talent capabilities are expected to contribute to a skilled and competitive workforce. PERSOLKELLY remains committed to its role in supporting these efforts and collaborating with local partners to drive positive change in the Malaysian workforce.
