On the 10th of March 2023, EUROCHAM Malaysia was invited by the Malaysia Productivity Corporation (MPC) to a workshop to improve the efficiency of expatriate work permits in Malaysia, which was held in Hotel Armada, Petaling Jaya, Kuala Lumpur. The Ministry of Human Resources (MOHR), the Expatriate Service Division (ESD), the Malaysian Investment Development Authority (MIDA), Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation (MDEC),  the Federation of Malaysian Manufacturers (FMM), the American Malaysia Chamber of Commerce (AMCHAM), Talent Corporation Malaysia, and other industry participants were present. The workshop highlighted numerous concerns about expatriates’ working visas, which have generated huge challenges.

All of the issues brought up are being taken into consideration by MOHR and other government agencies, who will then present these concerns to the federal government. A number of engagement meetings will be held with different business chambers and industry leaders to hasten the issuance of Malaysian work permits for expatriates, which could in turn stimulate the country’s economy.

EUROCHAM Malaysia looks forward to holding more meetings with the Malaysia Productivity Corporation (MPC) in the future to further strengthen and bolster alliances for a more prosperous EU-Malaysia partnership.
