Committee of Supply 2023 debate, Day 4: Cheng Li Hui on manpower challenges faced by SME employers
How can we reasonably expect our small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to compete with larger enterprises and Government agencies for manpower from the same talent pool? MP Cheng Li Hui, who raised this question in Parliament on Wednesday (Mar 1), also highlighted the issues that SMEs face in hiring and retaining staff. Many jobseekers may find larger enterprises more attractive than SMEs due to various factors, she said. She urged the Ministry of Manpower to address SMEs’ concerns, both real and perceived, to ensure that no SME is left behind in the journey towards growth and innovation.
