Massive drops in employment due to the COVID-19 crisis had a devastating effect on jobs and incomes among Malaysians. According to the latest Key Statistics of Labour Force in Malaysia released in March 2021, an approximately 753.2K individuals have lost their jobs as COVID-19 creates turmoil in labour markets. 

Despite the hammer-blow in our country, there are still many who aren’t aware of an effort which has been incepted for those who have lost their jobs. This initiative was created to encourage the formation and growth of job opportunities. 

The government has introduced KerjayaGig Program formed under Program Pemulih (Pakej Perlindungan Rakyat dan Pemulihan Ekonomi), to help workers cope with the loss of employment by providing immediate financial and job search assistance.
