Datuk Mukhriz could have been misinformed or he is ignorant on some job prospects

"Malaysia is not accepting investments from companies that plan to open up calls centres here anymore."

Deputy Minister of International Trade and Industry Datuk Mukhriz Mahathir said when such an offer arises, they now recommend them to go and set up such centres elsewhere like in India, for example.

"Such investments where it requires low paying jobs are not suitable for Malaysia because we cannot fill in the low income jobs like how some other countries can.

"Instead, what we are looking for is capital intensive technology investments from companies such as Shell," he told reporters after launching the Shell Business Service Centre in Cyberjaya, yesterday.

Does the minister realize, good conversationists at call centres take home four figure pay weekly? Could it be due to the fact that he does not speak effectively as his sister, Marina, not to mention his father, he is not able to appreciate that unique talents are required at call centres.
