Some 50,000 industrial workers may lose their jobs by year end due to inevitable closure of several manufacturing factories across Penang, warns the Malaysian Trade Union Congress (MTUC).
Most of these workers will be from the electronics, electrical and textile sectors, which had been squeezed by escalating inflation rate, according to its Penang branch chairperson Abdul Razak Abdul Hamid. The red alert is bound to rattle the federal and state governments and the employment sector as the retrenchment spree in Penang could well set the trend across the country.
