KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama): The Covid-19 pandemic is still raging outside Malaysia’s borders, which caused an increased demand for rubber gloves - something the world’s largest glove company is only too happy to meet, except that they are currently short of workers.
Malaysia imposed travel restrictions into the country beginning in March with the movement control order in a bid to contain Covid-19.
He said they had hired 2,500 local staff and workers last year, which formed part of the company’s 19,000-strong workforce globally. "So we hope the government will open up so that we can reduce the shortage of workers. So hopefully, by Sept 1, after the MCO is over.” When asked, Lim acknowledged the company had made some mistakes and said the company rectified them as best as they could.
"Their social compliance is getting better,” he said, citing the company’s announcement they will be reimbursing their workers’ recruitment fees as an example."The pressure is working.”
