Over 26,000 jobs lost in Malaysia
Al l’, Kuala Lumpur
More than 26.000 people have lost their jobs in Malaysia so far this year as the economic slowdown forced employers to cut back, state news agency Bernama reported Sunday.
Malaysian Employers Federation executive director Shamsuddin Bardan told Bernama he expected further job losses in the coining weeks.
He said a 16.2 billion dollar stimulus package unveiled earlier this month had not provided immediate incentive for companies to retain their workers.
The government has slashed its work permit approvals for foreign workers by almost 70 percent so far this year and cancelled work visas for 55,000 Bangladeshi workers after unions said the situation for Malaysians was bleak enough.
In January, the government also banned the hiring of new foreigners in the manufacturing and services sectors after a report forecast 45,000 Malaysians would lose their jobs in the next few months.
Malaysia is one of Asia's largest importers of labour and has an estimated 2.2 million foreign workers, who are the mainstay of the plantation and manufacturing sectors.
Bill Clinton calls for return to goods, services economy
AlP, Medellin. Colombia
The best solution to the global financial crisis is to revert to an economy of goods and services that is based less on finance, former US president Bill Clinton said Saturday.
"I believe the best outcome for us would be a 21st century economy in which more money is made in the production of goods and services and less money is made in finance," Clinton said at a meeting with Inter-American Development Bank (1DB) president Luis Alberto Moreno.
In such an economy, "people make money in finance the old fashion way, by making investments in products that people want to buy, but not by building sand castles in the sky." he added.
Clinton, the guest of honor at the IDB’s 50th anniversary celebrations in the northwestern Colombian city of Medellin, backed President Barack Obama's plans to revive the battered US economy and chart new rules for financial oversight.
"I believe that President Obama's approach has been basically correct. I support his economic stimulus package, even though he has had to borrow money. I hate that," Clinton said.
Australian PM plays down G20 stimulus prospects
AFP, London
Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd on Sunday played down the chances of a new global stimulus package being agreed at the G20 summit in London this week.
Rudd said that since the last G20 meeting in Washington in November, countries had agreed to take ‘ economic stimulus steps equivalent to two percent of global gross domestic product, and they should be allowed to take effect.
"There is a great, disproportionate emphasis on disagreements around the margins when, in fact, much has been concretely achieved with a mechanism for the future," he told BBC television.
"Governments around the world have agreed in calendar year 09 on action already equal to about two percent of global GDP
"What does the IMF tell us about the impact of that? That action alone... means supporting nearly 20 million more jobs than would otherwise be the case, in other words global unemployment in these economies would be 20 million worse.
"And I think it is absolutely important that we recognise the consistency in that."
Next cabinet to decide fate of Kuwait refinery
AFP, Kumait City
The next Kuwaiti cabinet will decide whether to proceed with a 15 billion dollar refinery project that was halted due to procedural flaws, the official KUNA news agency said Sunday, citing the oil minister.
Kuwait last week notified four South Korean companies, a Japanese firm and US giant Fluor that contracts to build the 615,000-barrels per day refinery was cancelled after opposition MPs insisted the process should have passed through a state-run committee to ensure transparency.
"A decision on the fourth refinery project will be made after the formation of the new cabinet," Sheikh Ahmad Abdullah al-Sabah told KUNA.
"The project has been frozen by the (outgoing) cabinet ... (following) remarks by the Audit Bureau, which must be respected in the interest of Kuwait."
I he Gulf state's government in August bowed to political pressure and referred the project to the Audit Bureau, which reportedly concluded the project was technically and economically not feasible and should go through the CcntralTendcrs Committee.
