Somebody within the Government Should Get Up from their fat backsides. The PMI manufacturing index is below 50, not because nobody wants to buy Made In Malaysia.
Manufacturers say they actually cannot cope with demand, and cannot expand because they just do not have the raw labour to do so.
The bigger boys like TopGlove are moving, Inari is expanding its Philippines manufacturing unit.
The small boys are dying, it's either give them the Labour they want in up coming budget or watch Malaysia fall into a man made recession. Which will it be Putrajaya!
