Johari: Hire local TVET grads or no foreign workers for plantations
KUALA KANGSAR: The Plantation and Commodities Ministry (MPIC) has mandated that plantation industry players must first hire graduates from Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) programmes before considering the employment of foreign workers. Plantation and Commodities Minister Datuk Seri Johari Abdul Ghani said industry players must provide proof of their efforts to hire TVET graduates to the ministry before they are permitted to recruit foreign workers. 'We are currently facing a situation where many industries are unwilling to hire graduates who have completed their training. They are reluctant to provide these students with the opportunity to gain practical experience because they prefer to take the easier route. 'Although the government has approved foreign workers for the plantation sector, I will not allow it unless industry players contribute to our local youth,' he said when met at the Dialog@MPIC session here today. Johari said the ministry will train about 250 TVET students annually in the plantation sector, and they will be placed in the industry based on the specific needs of the industry players. He said industry players must train these students until they become skilled and future specialists in the plantation sector. 'I want to commend Sime Darby and FGV for their dedicated initiatives to provide accommodation and decent salaries for young individuals who did not attend university. These youths can earn a salary of RM2,500 if they develop their skills and complete a TVET Level 3 qualification, and in another eight months, they could earn up to RM3,500. '...we must support these students in developing their careers. Otherwise, we're abandoning these youths, and that's not what we promised. Some industry players even refuse to hire them, and that's why I want to enforce this prerequisite. Currently, we depend on nearly 260,000 foreign workers to manage our plantations,' he said. Johari said the sector is vital as it represents the world's third-largest export industry, and within the national commodity sector, Malaysia exports approximately RM168 billion. He emphasised the need for industry players to take responsibility for mentoring and supporting these young talents.

OCBC Commits RM11 Bln Financing, Another RM3 Bln By End-2025 For JS-SEZ
BUSINESS JOHOR BAHRU, June 22 (Bernama) -- OCBC Group has committed more than RM11 billion into businesses in Johor since early 2024, as part of its commitment to support the development of the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone (JS-SEZ). The bank in a statement today said it plans to extend an additional RM3 billion in financing by the end of 2025 to support investments in key sectors such as real estate, oil and gas, manufacturing, and data centres within the JS-SEZ. OCBC chief executive officer (CEO) Helen Wong said the group has a long history in Johor dating more than a century, with OCBC Malaysia's first branch established in Johor in 1917. Today, the group operates eight branches in the state, out of 38 branches across Malaysia, she added. While reiterating the group's long-term support to JS-SEZ, Wong emphasised that OCBC's One Group approach, which brings together the collective strengths of OCBC Bank, Great Eastern Holdings (insurance subsidiary), Bank of Singapore (private banking arm), and leasing and wealth management capabilities, uniquely positions the group to support business growth and cross-border collaboration. The commitment announcement was made during a courtesy visit by Wong along with senior executives of OCBC Group to Johor Menteri Besar Datuk Onn Hafiz Ghazi at his official residence in Saujana here. Welcoming the move, Onn Hafiz described OCBC's commitment as a vote of confidence in Johor's investment climate. 'The Group's commitment of over RM11 billion, with another RM3 billion targeted by year-end, reflects strong private sector support for our economic vision. We look forward to deepening this collaboration,' he said. Meanwhile, OCBC Bank (Malaysia) Bhd CEO Tan Chor Sen said the group had already taken proactive steps to promote the JS-SEZ to global investors, even before the formal agreement was signed in January 2025.
