PETALING JAYA: Malaysians working abroad can return home at any time, with jobs and career guidance available through Talent Corporation Malaysia Bhd (TalentCorp) initiatives, says Human Resources Minister Datuk Seri R. Ramanan. “We are working on initiatives to have better opportunities for Malaysians to work in their home country,” he said during a corporate briefing at the TalentCorp office yesterday. TalentCorp has an existing research and report that helps industries identify persistent labour shortages in Malaysia with the annual report of MyMahir Malaysia Critical Occupations List (MyCOL). This report by TalentCorp provides insights for Malaysians, expatriates and investors into occupations that are critical to the country’s economic transformation and remain difficult to fill. Wong noted that attracting Malaysians abroad to return home also depends on creating the right economic conditions.
