Malaysia: Vehicular traffic in outsourcing
This is not the first time we are talking about outsourcing in Malaysia. In an older post titled “Malaysian Government appoints Outsourcing agents”, I mentioned the Malaysian government’s urge to stand strong in the Asian outsourcing market after India and China. The good sign is that the Malaysian government is taking the initiative in establishing the thread of outsourcing in the country.
For instance, look at the recent proposal of the government to outsource ambulance services to the private sector. At present, the ambulance fleet consists of 1000 vehicles, and this is likely to be expanded by another 800 in Ninth Malaysia Plan phase.
The move is to tackle the twin problems of a paucity of trained hands and the task of maintaining the vehicles. The success of the privatization move rides on the availability of appropriate rates that do not burden the government overmuch.
