ensuring that Malaysia’s
labour force is on par
with the rest of the world
by determining that its
workforce policies and direction are in line
with its commitment towards standards
set by the United Nations. Under the
administration of Dato’ Sri Richard Riot

the leading agency in the development and
management of a world class workforce
with its own well-planned strategies and
initiatives.

an efficient, productive and disciplined

healthy and safe work environment. The
