BEIJING (SCMP): Companies in China are offering a “pretend to work” service which includes office space and lunch for 30 yuan (US$4) a day to help people hide the fact they are jobless from their families.
PETALING JAYA: The Human Resources Ministry's proposal to mandate hiring three interns for every expatriate employed is impractical for the manufacturing sector, says the Federation of Malaysian Manufacturers .
The ministry reportedly stated that the policy's pilot phase would begin on Feb 15 and run until Dec 31 this year, with full implementation scheduled for January 2026. Soh instead proposed a"place and train" system, such as apprenticeship schemes, which have proven effective in generating interest among interns for long-term careers in the manufacturing sector.
FMM also called for the lifting of the freeze on foreign workers whose intake was approved but delayed due to administrative issues, preventing them from meeting the May 31, 2024 deadline.
