No. We’re not talking about jobs that involve the creation of impressive visual feasts. ‘3D’ jobs, as it has come to be known within the government are: dirty, difficult or dangerous.
And, according to Home Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, Malaysians can last just three months in such jobs.
“The most locals will work in these ‘3D industries’ is three months. Some work for a month, a week or even a day (before quitting). I am not siding with the foreigners, but this is the truth,” the New Straits Times quoted him as saying.
This was the reason for more such jobs being taken up by foreigners, he said, adding that employers cannot be blamed as they had no choice.
“Sometimes, I sympathise with the employers for facing difficulties in securing local workers,” he reportedly said.
