The future of jobs? KJ says to prepare for less security in civil service

At a panel discussion today on the future for jobs and careers, former youth and sports minister Khairy Jamaluddin today said Malaysians should be prepared for lesser security of tenure and income.

Unlike existing job security concerns of contract workers, Khairy said there will soon come a time when the process of automation and the growing "gig economy" could impact even the civil service which is often regarded as offering high security of tenure and income.
