RM6.5b allocated to create more jobs over next five years - Dr M

The government’s allocation of RM6.5 billion for the Malaysia@Work programme will create more jobs for Malaysians over the next five years, said Dr Mahathir Mohamad.

The prime minister said the programme has many long-term multiplier effects that go beyond the five years.

“It creates jobs, it creates learning opportunities, it creates relationships that require collaboration,” he said in his keynote address at the International Social Well-Being Conference 2019 and the launch of Malaysia@Work in Kuala Lumpur today.
