如果Hitachi接手的话那1500名员工应该会掩咀笑
拿了WD几个月的赔偿金再继续在旧工厂做下去
只是跟不同的人领薪水而已

對啊！詩巫有許多大財團，如常青集團、黃傳寬機構、張仕國企業、晶木集團、大安集團、德大集團、三洋集團、順合企業、福平機構、越邦集團等等。這些公司的總部都在詩巫。

大學生在詩巫的起薪大概是RM1200-RM1800，看工作性質。不過大家都公認的是，詩巫的生活開銷絕對遠低于古晉、美里及民都魯。

Penang factories take a longer break as demand slumps

(The Malaysian Insider) Penang’s industrial areas will turn into ghost towns between Dec 22 and Jan 5 as factories shut down longer for the year-end holidays amid falling demand from major markets that are already in recession. Some manufacturers have also sent back foreign workers as their contracts lapse.

But industry insiders say Penang’s multinational manufacturers, particularly in the electronics sector, face a bleak 2009 as demand dries up for components and accessories. They expect further job cuts even as the companies mull over shortening work weeks or closing production lines.

Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng acknowledged the gloom but is confident that the island state, which produces 30 per cent of Malaysia’s exports, can withstand the grim economic outlook.

“I am confident that Penang is resilient to weather the economic crisis,” Lim told The Malaysian Insider.

Lim, who has asked the Federal Government for RM500 million to retrain retrenched Penang workers, said the state government is working to head off any employment crisis. It is understood that Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Datuk Seri Najib Abdul Razak is looking into providing some funds for Penang.

“Penang people have the expertise, the energy and entrepreneurial spirit to overcome the economic crisis and the state government is already working on pro-growth, pro-jobs and pro-poor policies for the state," said Lim, who’s Democratic Action Party (DAP) and allies in the Pakatan Rakyat (PR) electoral pact took power in the March 8 general elections.

The DAP secretary-general said Penang has attracted RM8 billion thus far in investments for 2008 against RM4.7 billion last year, adding the state could have taken in RM10 billion in investments if there was no economic downturn.

Despite the rising investments, Penang businessmen are bracing for hard times. Manpower suppliers say one multinational had just sent back nearly 400 workers or 10 percent of their workforce when their contracts lapsed. “The MNC has another 100 foreign workers and they are expected to leave once their contracts expire too,” one labour consultant told The Malaysian Insider.

He added some companies are thinking of reducing work days to retain their staff and avoid retrenchment.

“Retrenchment is the last option as some don’t have the funds to pay severance packages,” he explained.

A senior executive at a multinational electronic maker said the situation will get worse in 2009.

“There is just no demand for anything electronics. We will have to let the workers go and close production lines very soon,” said the executive, who declined to be named.

While no Penang-based manufacturer has yet to officially retrench staff, hard drive maker Western Digital Corp has announced plans to cut 2,500 jobs or about five per cent of its global work force, including some 1,500 jobs in one plant in Kuching, Sarawak. Western Digital, which first set up in Malaysia in 1973, has another plant in Sungei Way, Selangor and employs a total of 7,000 workers in the country.

Western Digital said demand for the current quarter is “significantly below” what it expected when it issued revenue guidance in October. The company now expects fiscal second-quarter sales of US$1.7 billion to US$1.8 billion (RM6 billion to RM6.4 billion), with a “consequent reduction in operating results.” Its prior sales outlook was US$2.03 billion to US$2.15 billion. Analysts, on average, are expecting sales of US$1.98 billion, according to a poll by Thomson Reuters.

Western Digital will also stop its manufacturing operations from Dec. 20 through Jan. 1, reduce manufacturing hours by 20 per cent through employee attrition and trim its use of temporary workers and overtime shifts.

Lim is grateful that Penang-based companies have not announced any job cuts but is under no illusion about 2009. “We will have to face it and therefore it’s imperative we get funds to retrain those retrenched,” he said.

本州肯定會受到國際金融風暴的影響，明年三月就會開始。古晉多間電子廠相續倒閉是理所當然的，差不多會有5000-7000人失業。這些失業人士如果能轉行成功就沒有問題。不過古晉沒有幾間大財團，要吸收失業人士不容易，因 ...

电子工业本来就是像波浪形那样有起有落的啊。除非铁饭碗啦，天天太平盛事 什么行业都好，遇到经济风暴都难免会受到牵连。

他们怎么会相信? 说太多等下给人误会是妒嫉人家薪水高..  当初人家一毕业就开好车了, 高兴得不得了..

不是所有人的薪水都是高的，我就是一个很好的例子，找两餐吧了（不过我不是XFAB的）

为什么会涨？ 不会呱。。 就是需求变小了， 经济不好。。 接不到订单才会倒闭不是吗？

接不到订单就表示没有需求量。。 既然没有需求量， 为什么会涨？ 而且新山的厂还有做啊。。。

我们在今年就拿了10天有薪假和４天无薪假了。
一月还要拿3天的无薪假。
他们现在才开始已经很好了

希望这个危机会是转机，听说他们的赔偿是服务年份X1.2个月的薪水。

16楼的朋友，请不要散播谣言。至少到现在为止还没证实的事情不要乱说。

我有一些朋友在這些電子廠上班，幾年前我已經跟他們說過這是不穩定的工作，隨時會被裁員，因為國外電子廠經常裁員是很普遍的事。

applely

不是, 如果是的话, 我也会慌了....
当初我朋友们仗着薪水高, 纷纷申请进入Semi-conductor industries.. 幸好我没有跟风, 我知道做这行出来的经验, 要转行就等于从头来过了..
