Don't Restrict The Entry Of Skilled Workers, Says PM
KUALA LUMPUR, June 14 (Bernama) -- Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi said tonight Malaysia should not "overly restrict" the entry of skilled workers particularly in strategic sectors as it could actually bring benefit to the country.
The Prime Minister said he believes the Malaysian working population will benefit from having greater interaction with foreign talent.
"Indeed, we can only improve ourselves if we work and learn with talented others," he said in his address "Looking Back, Forging Ahead: 50 Years of Business in Malaysia" at the Kuala Lumpur Business Club dinner, here.
To get the skilled workers, he said, Malaysia should facilitate skilled foreign students to stay on after graduating.
Abdullah said Malaysia must benefit from the globalised flow of human capital.
"I believe that Malaysian professionals can hold their own amongst the global talent pool and that they remain the employees of choice by businesses in Malaysia.
"This does not necessarily conflict with a policy of drawing more foreign knowledge workers to our shores," he said.
