Kuala Lumpur, Jan 6- The government targeted to create more than three million job opportunities by 2020, said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak.
Najib on his Facebook page Sunday said the government’s desire to provide more employment opportunities to Malaysians was in line with the country achieving a high-income, developed nation status the same year.
“Since 2011, more than a million job opportunities have been created for Malaysians through economic-generating efforts.
“The government targets to create more than three million job opportunities by 2020, in line with the high-income, developed nation status,” he said.
Najib said 313,741 job opportunities were created in 2011 and about 800,000 in 2012.
