Existing staff can serve as OSH coordinators, clarifies deputy minister
KUALA LUMPUR: The appointment of an Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) Coordinator does not require a dedicated position, according to Deputy Human Resources Minister Datuk Seri Abdul Rahman Mohamad. He stated that existing employees can take on the role under Section 29A of the Occupational Safety and Health Act 1994 (Act 514). The provision, enforced since June 1, 2024, allows flexibility in fulfilling OSH responsibilities without creating new posts. Abdul Rahman clarified this during the Dewan Rakyat's question-and-answer session. He was responding to Rushdan Rusmi (PN–Padang Besar) on whether dedicated OSH Coordinator positions would be established in the public sector. The requirement applies to all employers with five or more workers, including government agencies. Section 29A aims to ensure workplaces have a designated individual overseeing OSH matters. OSH Coordinators assist employers in complying with legal safety requirements. They also coordinate the implementation of workplace safety measures. The government believes this approach avoids unnecessary bureaucratic expansion. - Bernama

Multi-agency push drives workforce upskilling
A COMPREHENSIVE, multi-agency approach is being used to address labour market imbalances, mainly in skills mismatches. Deputy Human Resources Minister Datuk Seri Abdul Rahman Mohamad said the rate of skills-related underemployment dropped from 37.3% in 2022 to 35.7% in the first quarter of 2025, which he attributed to coordinated efforts by various ministries and agencies. 'Among the key agencies involved are TalentCorp, Manpower Department, Department of Skills Development, PERKESO and HRD Corp. 'These bodies play critical roles in developing a high-skilled workforce aligned with industry needs,' he said in reply to Mohd Misbahul Munir Masduki (PN-Parit Buntar), who inquired about steps taken to resolve the skills mismatch in the labour market. To identify industry-critical skills, Abdul Rahman said TalentCorp has published the Malaysia Critical Occupations List since 2015. From 2023, he said the initiative was extended to schools to expose students to future job trends and required skills. He said TalentCorp also conducted studies on artificial intelligence, the digital economy and green technology to assess their impact on Malaysia's workforce. Based on these findings, he said the digital portal and MyMAHIR Future Skills Talent Council (FSTC) were introduced. The FSTC, led by industry players, is responsible for determining training priorities and selecting suitable training centres, he added. 'As of June 2025, 66 training programmes involving 2,336 participants are underway under the FSTC initiative,' he said. Abdul Rahman also highlighted ongoing reforms to Malaysia's national occupational skills standards, with 2,012 active standards currently available and supported by 1,619 accredited training centres nationwide. To support displaced workers, he said the Labour Department has provided reskilling and upskilling courses, with 84,231 individuals trained in 2024 and 48,833 as of June 30 this year. Meanwhile, he said PERKESO has expanded initiatives such as the MYFutureJobs portal, Career Bridge Tool, Career Launchpad programme and Satellite Centres to improve employment services and training access. Abdul Rahman said strategic partnerships with companies and training institutes also help boost jobseekers' competencies. He said HRD Corp's National Training Week 2025 attracted approximately 3.5 million participants from Malaysia and Asean. 'Over 72,000 free training sessions covered AI, coding, cybersecurity, data analytics and more through physical, online and hybrid formats,' he added.

Concrete measures in place to address skills mismatch, Deputy HR Minister tells Parliament
KUALA LUMPUR: The government has adopted a comprehensive, multi-agency approach to address labour market imbalances, particularly skills mismatches which currently account for 35.7% of the national unemployment rate, says Datuk Seri Abdul Rahman Mohamad. The Deputy Human Resources Minister said the rate of skills-related underemployment had dropped from 37.3% in 2022 to 35.7% in the first quarter of 2025, a reduction he attributed to coordinated efforts by various ministries and agencies under the ministry. 'Among the key agencies involved are TalentCorp, the Manpower Department (JTM), the Department of Skills Development (JPK), the Social Security Organisation (PERKESO) and HRD Corp. 'These bodies play critical roles in developing a high-skilled workforce aligned with industry needs,' he told the Dewan Rakyat on Wednesday (Aug 6). He was responding to a question from Mohd Misbahul Munir Masduki (PN-Parit Buntar), who had asked about short- and long-term strategies to resolve the skills mismatch issue in the labour market. To identify industry-critical skills, Abdul Rahman said TalentCorp has published the Malaysia Critical Occupations List (MyCOL) since 2015. Starting in 2023, he said the initiative was extended to schools to expose students early to future job trends and required skills. He added that TalentCorp also conducted impact studies on artificial intelligence, the digital economy and green technology to assess their effects on Malaysia's workforce. Based on these findings, he said the digital portal and MyMAHIR Future Skills Talent Council (FSTC) were introduced. The FSTC, led by industry players, is responsible for determining training priorities and selecting suitable training centres, he added. 'As of June 2025, 66 training programmes involving 2,336 participants are underway under the FSTC initiative,' he said. Abdul Rahman also highlighted ongoing reforms to Malaysia's national occupational skills standards (NOSS), with 2,012 active standards currently available and supported by 1,619 accredited training centres nationwide. To support displaced workers, he said JTM has provided reskilling and upskilling courses, with 84,231 individuals trained in 2024 and another 48,833 participants as of June 30 this year. Meanwhile, he said PERKESO has expanded initiatives such as the MYFutureJobs job portal, Career Bridge Tool, Career Launchpad programme and Satellite Centres to improve employment services and training access. Abdul Rahman said strategic partnerships with companies and training institutes also help boost jobseekers' competencies. Additionally, he said HRD Corp's National Training Week (NTW) 2025 attracted approximately 3.5 million participants from Malaysia and Asean. 'Over 72,000 free training sessions were offered, covering artificial intelligence, coding, cybersecurity, data analytics and more, through physical, online and hybrid formats.'
