Firms urged to give 2pc of jobs to disabled
PEKAN: Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak proposed yesterday that private sector companies reserve two per cent of their jobs for the disabled.
"In this way, more disabled would be able to serve the companies and lead a better future," said Najib."
It's part of your corporate social responsibility.
"You have been providing financial assistance to them, so now you can offer them suitable jobs in your organisations," he said after attending the Excellence Day ceremony for Pekan Community Rehabilitation Centre (PDK) at SMK Sri Pekan yesterday.
The deputy prime minister said that countries like Japan had a legal provision compelling the private sector to offer jobs to the disabled.
"If they fail to provide the jobs, then the firm must provide financial assistance to the government to help the disabled."
This is just my suggestion to the private sector. I hope they will offer assistance to the disabled" Najib said the PDKs must adopt a culture of excellence to improve further.
"As human beings, we will never be able to achieve our dreams if we fail to adopt the excellence culture."We have to always equip ourselves in all aspects as the people will evaluate us through our achievements."
Najib later handed out excellence awards to outstanding disabled individuals and their parents at the function.
