M’sian Gov’t Collabs With Prisons Dept To Employ Former Prisoners & Henry Gurney School Inmates
The Human Resources Ministry and the Malaysian Prisons Department are working together to provide job opportunities to prisoners and Henry Gurney school inmates due for release soon, with the aim to provide jobs for 15,000 people this year.
This collaboration is part of the Malaysian government’s initiative to assist former inmates and prisoners in reintegrating into society and reducing the recidivism rate.
The government, according to deputy minister of human resources Datuk Sivakumar Varatharaju, is dedicated to assisting ex-offenders and prisoners in finding employment. He underlined how crucial it was to give them the knowledge and training they would need to be successful in the working world. The ministry asserts that it will collaborate closely with the Prisons Department to guarantee that the training provided to former inmates is appropriate for the demands of the job market.
