00:00The Union Network International Malaysia Labor Centre has warned that hidden and fragmented job vacancies are worsening youth unemployment, with young Malaysians across the country graduating into a maze with no clear path into work.
00:17Uni MLC President Shafi B.P. Mamal said the problem was not a lack of talent, but a lack of visibility of job vacancies, adding that youths should not be made to guess where the jobs are.
00:31He claimed that vacancies are scattered across private portals, WhatsApp groups, and closed networks, which he described as an unfair system.
00:40A proposed amendment to the Employment Insurance System Act 2017 is meant to address this by adding Section 45F, which would require employers to notify vacancies on the government's My Future Jobs portal.
00:56According to Shafi, employers can still use Jobstreet or LinkedIn, but My Future Jobs becomes the baseline where Malaysians know vacancies must be visible, providing the visibility that protects young workers.
01:10He stressed that the amendment to Act 800 is not to burden employers, but to make sure Malaysian families are not shut out from opportunities because vacancies are hidden.
