Time to rebrand 3D sector


Abstract

LETTERS: The proliferation of the digital age and the rise of automation have significantly influenced employment choices in the 21st century.

Promising white-collar jobs are increasingly becoming the leading preference for younger graduates.

Labour shortage in Malaysia has hampered the continuity and recovery of businesses due to spikes in demand and supply.

Reportedly, more than one million unattractive jobs, often labelled "dirty, dangerous and difficult' (3D), span various sectors, including manufacturing, mining and construction. These jobs have been affected due to low uptake among locals and the dependence on migrant workers.
