KUCHING, June 14 (Bernama) -- Sarawak Housing Minister Datuk Seri Abang Johari Tun Openg Thursday proposed that contractors reduce their dependence on foreign labour by investing in the latest technology available in the construction industry.
He said many new gadgets and machines were available in the market that they could use to speed up their work.
"Perhaps, to reduce the cost of labour, I propose that the local contractors invest in the latest technology in the construction industry," he said when opening a one-day roadshow on "Health, Safety and Enviroment in Construction", here.
Abang Johari expressed fear over the growing trend of hiring foreign labour in the construction sector, saying it could have a negative impact on the state but did not elaborate.
