00:00Malaysia has resources to renew public services, including retraining public servants for future needs,
00:10but does not have the political will to implement it, according to an economist.
00:16Chun Tin Fah from the University Health said,
00:19it is unrealistic to expect an increase in employment and output by hiring or placing public servants without providing proper training.
00:29In early February, former Minister of Health Khairi Jamaluddin suggested that Malaysia set up a government agency,
00:37as in the United States, to oversee and renew public services operations,
00:42without involving layoffs, on the contrary, suggesting relocation.
00:47Wang Chin Huat, a political scientist from the University of Sunway,
00:51agreed with Khairi that layoffs are not a solution.
00:56He told FMT that steps to adjust the number of public servants must be done strategically and with detailed planning.
