KUALA LUMPUR, 4 May 2020 – The COVID-19 pandemic and the Movement Control Order (MCO) has not only created uncertainties but has led to tough times in Malaysia’s economic and employment sphere.
In tandem with the nation’s dip in its economic performance, Malaysia’s unemployment rate is also expected to shoot up to 4 per cent this year, from 3.3 per cent in 2019, said Bank Negara Malaysia.
