00:00What are the steps taken by the government, especially the Ministry of Trade and Industry?
00:04You said that 63 people are working in the Ministry of Trade and Industry.
00:09To ensure the vacancy, will it not cause a delay?
00:16The mitigation must be taken by the airlines.
00:19Because they are the hands of the Malaysian Airlines.
00:22So they have a plan to fill the vacancy
00:26and get a replacement for the technical staff.
00:31It needs to be done.
00:32And we at the Ministry of Trade and Industry need to monitor.
00:35As I said, the CAMs have obligated the Malaysian Airlines to send a monthly report
00:41on their mitigation plan so that it can be known.
00:44But in this matter,
00:47first, the airlines must take steps
00:53to ensure that they are able to retain
00:57or attract new employees or staff.
01:02I have seen various attacks from opponents.
01:07For example, the government has allowed foreign companies to enter.
01:11So that is a competition that cannot be avoided.
01:17These employees get a higher salary.
01:21Of course, they have higher options.
01:23But if we look at it in a positive context,
01:26it provides more opportunities for high-paying jobs.
01:30So airline companies have to cash out
01:33to ensure that their training programs can be increased.
01:39And they also offer the same working packages to their staff.
