Malaysia stuck in the middle income trap for many years and unable to escape or upgrade itself to higher income group.
So one would see shortage of man power in these sectors:
No one to serve in mamak industry 🤦, no Mee goreng
No Indonesian workers for plantation , even with tones of palm oil to harvest, but will let it rotten itself if left unattended.
Asean countries to figure out a combined payment system , bypassing the USD system ! Great initiative !
