2 Juta rakyat Malaysia dijangka hilang pekerjaan akibat Covid 19 ini

*Kerajaan masih belum isytihar bantuan untuk mereka yang hilang pekerjaan akibat COVID19 *

Mengikut kenyataan Malaysian Employers Federation (MEF) hampir 2 juta rakyat Malaysia bakal kehilangan pekerjaan

Hanya sekitar pertengahan tahun depan barulah pasaran kerja mulai pulih tapi sedikit demi sedikit.

Sekarang ni pun sudah pun lebih 500k sudah hilang pekerjaan. Lebih ramai lagi akan hilang sehingga selepas ini.

Malahan mengikut Presiden MEF, Datuk Shamsuddin Bardan percaya kadar pengangguran akan mencecah 10% hingga 15%.

Mengikut Jabatan Perangkaan, hampir pasti lebih 1 juta orang akan kehilangan pekerjaan akibat wabak ini.

Bantuan kewangan setakat ini masih belum mencukupi tapi kerajaan harus melipat ganda bantuan kepada rakyat supaya kesan pengangguran tidak parah.

Bantuan BPN pun ramai merungut permohonan mereka masih dalam proses wlaaupun sudah lebih 5 bulan.

Kerajaan masih belum isytihar bantuan untuk mereka yang hilang pekerjaan akibat COVID 19 ini

Perlu ada program yang lebih serius mcm Bantuan Kehilangan Kerja secara bulanan membantu mereka yang hilang pekerjaan.

Setakat ini tiada apa2 usaha kerajaan ke arah ini.

More Than 2 Million Malaysians Might Lose Their Jobs Due To Covid-19

The negative effects of Covid-19 can lead to more than 2 million Malaysians losing their jobs, according to the Malaysian Employers Federation (MEF).

The association sees that it’s likely that the domestic job market would only recover by the half of next year.

With more than 500,000 locals who’ve already lost their jobs during the pandemic, MEF’s Executive Director, Datuk Shamsuddin Bardan believes that the unemployment rate would rise to 10% or even 15%.


He said based on the latest survey by the Department of Statistics, they foresee layoffs to exceed 1 million, the number is more than the Asian financial crisis that affected 900,000 workers.

Shamsuddin added unless there’s special subsidy by the government, employers will have to bear the costs of sending back their foreign workers who would be the first to go if their businesses don’t perform well.

He said its an additional burden on employers who have to provide these workers with necessities during the Movement Control Order (MCO).

Shamsuddin also said employers and the government should work together so that workers will not be retrenched as most companies have cash flow to last them for only two months.
