What do youths think about the proposal for allowances to be paid to students undergoing industrial training?
Speaking during a press conference in Parliament on Feb 15, she said there was a need to discuss with both the Higher Education Ministry and the Human Resources Ministry on the pros and cons of implementing the proposal.
In response, the Malaysian Employers Federation said the proposal, if carried out, would discourage employers from offering places for internships. But what do the youth think about the proposal? Nur Aisya Shasmeen, who is a participant of the BRATs Young Journalist Programme run by The Star’s Newspaper-in-Education programme, got her peers to share their views.
The private sector should give allowances to interns even if the amount is not big. Although we lack exposure and need the industrial training as part of our learning, we still contribute to the companies to which we are attached. Giving us allowances prevents labour exploitation, which does occur. In addition, it can encourage us to work harder during the internship.”“No allowance is provided for teacher trainees except for those in areas like Putrajaya.
