Perkeso: Job Seekers Urged To Consider Opportunities Beyond Their Home States

Barnama5 days ago

KANGAR, June 21 (Bernama) -- Job seekers have been urged to be more open to challenges, by considering employment opportunities beyond their home states, rather than limiting themselves to local job options.
The Social Security Organisation's (Perkeso) Employment Insurance System (SIP) Office head, Datuk Asri Ab Rahman, said that job seekers should adopt a more flexible mindset, and be willing to accept suitable job offers, even if they are located in other states, as long as the positions offer long-term prospects and stability.
'Sometimes, job mismatches occur, not due to a lack of opportunities, but because candidates are unwilling to relocate. However, such cases are relatively isolated and tend to occur only in specific states,' he told reporters after attending the opening ceremony of the MYFutureJobs Career, Education & Entrepreneurship Carnival - Perlis 2025, here today.

Envoy: UK opens doors to more Malaysian students amid US policy shift

KUALA LUMPUR — The United Kingdom (UK) is widening its doors to Malaysian students by expanding its university footprint and tailoring academic opportunities to meet their evolving needs. British High Commissioner to Malaysia Ajay Sharma said the UK is ready to welcome more Malaysian students amid shifting global study trends, as the United States (US) tightens its visa policies. 'We want to have more Malaysian students in the UK. We want to have more UK universities here in Malaysia. 'We want to make sure that the educational links get stronger and stronger, but most importantly, that they respond to the needs of people here,' he told Bernama after appearing on Bernama TV's programme The Diplomatic Dispatch here on Thursday. Sharma said that the UK, known for its academic excellence and globally recognised qualifications, remains an attractive destination for higher education and is ready to accommodate students who may be reconsidering the US or other countries due to recent developments. 'We're very happy to welcome more Malaysian students if they choose to come because of what's happening in the US or elsewhere in the world,' he said. According to data from the UK Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA) for the 2023/24 academic year, a total of 12,760 Malaysian students were enrolled in UK higher education institutions, placing Malaysia among the top ten non-EU source countries. Recalling his recent discussion with Majlis Amanah Rakyat (MARA) chairman Datuk Dr Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki, Sharma disclosed that they were exploring deeper collaboration and facilitating greater access for Malaysian students to UK institutions. 'We talked about how we can cooperate more on ensuring that Malaysian students are able to take advantage of the opportunities in the UK,' he said. MARA has temporarily suspended the placement of its sponsored students to the US this year following recent changes to student visa policies introduced by the US administration. Asyraf Wajdi said the agency is offering alternative placements in the UK, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, China and local institutions to ensure students are not affected by the policy shift. The move follows recent directives by US President Donald Trump's administration to tighten international student visa procedures. — BERNAMA

Malaysia Eyes RM500 Mln In Landscape Exports To Singapore By 2026

JOHOR BAHRU, June 26 (Bernama) – Malaysia is targeting RM500 million in landscape product exports to Singapore by 2026 through strategic bilateral cooperation, said Housing and Local Government Minister Nga Kor Ming. He said the target is achievable with careful planning and strong diplomatic ties between the two countries. "This potential must be developed and accelerated. Later today, I will be visiting Singapore to meet my counterpart to sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) in the landscape and urban development sectors," he told a press conference here today. Nga was speaking after attending the launch of National Landscape Day 2025, officiated by Che Puan Mahkota Khaleeda Bustamam, wife of the Regent of Johor. Also present were Johor Menteri Besar Datuk Onn Hafiz Ghazi and State Housing and Local Government Committee chairman Datuk Mohd Jafni Md Shukor. Nga said he would meet with Singapore's Minister for National Development Chee Hong Tat and Education Minister Desmond Lee, who previously held the national development portfolio. The MoU will not only cover the landscape sector but also include cooperation in smart city development, housing, urban renewal, public parks, and smart home concepts. He noted that this initiative follows Singapore Prime Minister Lawrence Wong's recent visit to Malaysia and aligns with key priorities under his ministry. Johor is expected to benefit the most from the partnership due to its strategic location and logistics advantage.
