State executive councillor for human capital development Mohd Khairuddin Othman said out of the total, some 747 individuals were employed through direct interviews during the programme that was held at the Malaysia Agro Exposition Park Serdang (Maeps) in Serdang.
“While 4,243 individuals have been called for the second round of interviews by the employers. The screening process is still ongoing and hopefully, the participants will succeed and get the job.
