NST’s Letter by President of the Sarawak Sabah Foochow Association Kuala Lumpur

I should congratulate Philip Wong’s comments in a letter to the NST on the need to get out of the middle income rut.

Being president of the Sarawak Sabah Foochow Association, he can take steps, big or small ones, to spur the practice of insisting on better trained and better paid workers.

I acknowledge, however, that the government has to act but I do think a more pragmatic approach can be spear-headed by the private sector.

It has to be said that salaries of government workers have been raised from time to time and these steps have made the public becoming more and more attractive for new job seekers nowadays.
