As for the rollout of the Covid-19 booster shots, Miti has not announced any special initiatives to arrange for third vaccine shots for factory workers.

As a Senior Minister, Azmin should take the lead in organising and facilitating dialogue sessions between the chambers of commerce and the Ministry of Human Resources and relevant agencies such as Perkeso and Talentcorp so that there can be a frank exchange of views between the various stakeholders. Importantly, Miti and Mida should also push for an evaluation on the success rate of advertising on the MyFuturejobs.com portal for positions that MNCs want to be filled by expatriates .
